OzDAFNE Health Professional Workshop
DAFNE stands for Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating and is a comprehensive education program that helps people manage their type 1 diabetes and adjust their insulin doses. It is known as OzDAFNE in Australia.
The OzDAFNE Health Professional Workshop is designed for health professionals involved in the direct care and support of people with type 1 diabetes. This workshop gives you the confidence to support your clients as they continue using OzDAFNE guidelines and principles after they complete an OzDAFNE program.
One recent workshop attendee said they now have “more confidence in helping clients with insulin adjustment in relation to carbohydrates and blood glucose levels.”
