The author examines an research project in the United Kingdom that studies dose adjustment for normal eating (DAFNE) strategies for treating type 1 diabetics. The patients were trained to adjust their insulin intake at each meal according to the level of carbohydrates in the food. No significant improvement was seen in blood sugar levels, but quality of life rose significantly.
