Training diabetic patients in flexible, intensive insulin management allows greater dietary freedom in people with type 1 diabetes, according to results of the Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating (DAFNE) randomized trial reported in the Oct. 3 issue of the British Medical Journal.
“Skills training promoting dietary freedom improved quality of life and glycemic control in people with type 1 diabetes without worsening severe hypoglycemia or cardiovascular risk,” write S. Heller, from the Northern General Hospital in Sheffield, U.K., and colleagues from the DAFNE Study Group. “This approach has the potential to enable more people to adopt intensive insulin treatment and is worthy of further investigation.”
