Hi David, I include my email below to take this off list, if you need to reply. The reasons she was given were: 1. The calculations would be too difficult for her to complete, as she is totally blind. 2. The information is not in an accessible format. The person in question is, along with 3 or 4 others interested in completing the course, but as all have VI, it is a dead duck. I advised her to write and point out her willingness to complete the course and as a young person it offers a good chance of controlling her diabetes. I also said she could mention the "D" word, as I feel there is a lack of willingness of co-operation from the people running the course. Any further correspondence please take this off list, as it is running OT, and contact me on: MikeIs@xxxxxxxxxxxx Kindest regards, Mike -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David W Wood (G3YXX) Sent: 24 January 2012 22:59 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Not sure about this... Diabetics Mike It should be simple enough to write a spreadsheet to make calculations for carbohydrates etc. Are the organisers purely being obstructive as your friend may be taking a different stance than the other 22k+ course participators?

Diabetics Hello, First, sorry if off topic, but it relates to IT. I have a friend who is wanting to do the DAFNE course, relating to diabetes. She is meeting a brick wall, as they tell her she cannot complete the course, that she cannot manage the counting necessary for the course. Does anyone know of a suitable app or spreadsheet to complete this task? Or has anyone completed the course in question for managing diabetes, and was it possible to manage using computer/calculator/ other means?
