| Interventions |
Brief Intervention in Type 1 Diabetes:
Education for Self-Efficacy Course (BITES), developed by a multi-disciplinary team including Consultant Diabetologist, Diabetes Specialist Nurse, Specialist Diabetes Dietician and Clinical Health Psychologist, and delivered as a 2.5-day course over a 6-week period to allow participants time to practice and reflect between sessions. The sessions were facilitated by a Diabetes Specialist Nurse and Specialist Diabetes Dietician. The goal of BITES is to motivate and enable the patients to strive for blood glucose values as normal as possible. All those agreeing to participate will be asked to convert to a basal bolus insulin regime based on two injections of isophane insulin (morning and evening) and meal-related rapid acting insulin. Insulin dose adjustment skills will be based on the Dusseldorf and DAFNE (Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating) principles of treatment to target glucose and insulin matching to carbohydrate portions. The nutritional emphasis will be on normal eating and unrestricted patient choice. The control group recieved standard care. |
