This is primarily a social event to give people the opportunity to catch up with other DAFNE grads and informally swap information. The renewal of contact with the graduates also serves as a reminder that the diabetes team are available as a resource should people wish to make appointments. A 'party bag' is given out which contains various bits and pieces on DAFNE, diabetes and a carbohydrate counting theme.
Here is a picture from last year's event:

Iced cakes....
I think the phrase rhymes with 'clucking bell'
Was the event sponsored by the Pharmas and the Sugar Bureau!
What's the message here ? Shovel anything you like down your neck and cover it with insulin.
It is easy to see why over 75% of type one diabetics never ever get close to a safe HbA1c. NHS stats. confirm this is a fact !

The Sugar Bureau is now called Sugar Nutrition UK.

You can be a Bernstein follower and still benefit from DAFNE as I did. It is used to help Type1's use insulin according to the amount of carbs they eat.
The Birthday cake does not have to be eaten by anybody, it is a personal choice.
Iv'e no problem with concept of educating T1s in carb counting, but the picture of the cakes gives the wrong impression...
