The impact of the dose adjustment for normal eating (DAFNE) structured education programme on health outcomes and healthcare costs for people with type 1 diabetes in Ireland.

The article discusses the impact of the Dose Adjustment for Normal Eating (DAFNE) structured education programme on health outcomes and healthcare costs for people with type 1 diabetes in Ireland. The study found that completing the DAFNE programme was associated with lower distress, better quality of life, and no additional healthcare costs. However, the study had limitations, including missing data and potential biases. The findings suggest that DAFNE could be beneficial in the Irish clinical guideline, but caution is advised in interpreting the results due to the study's limitations and the changing landscape of diabetes care.
