Abstract

Introduction Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating (DAFNE) is the leading structured patient education programme for adults with type 1 diabetes in the UK. Provided by a not-for-profit NHS-governed consortium, it enables patients to self-manage their disease through a skillsbased education programme. DAFNE is designed to be embedded within established NHS diabetes services. People applying DAFNE principles learn to stabilise their blood glucose, which reduces the risk of complications, improves quality of life for them and their families and reduces NHS costs. Commissioning DAFNE will: • Achieve cost savings of £93,133 per 100,000 population annually1 • Enable you to be compliant with the new NICE type 1 diabetes guideline (NG17)
