STILE Diabetes Programme

STILE - Shropshire Titration of Insulin and Lifestyle Education - Carbohydrate Counting and Insulin Dose Adjustment for Type 1 Diabetes

STILE is run one day a week for four weeks. It is for people with Type 1 diabetes who inject rapid-acting Insulin with meals and long-acting Insulin 1 to 2 times a day. You will be taught how to work out the amount of carbohydrate in the food you eat and then to use this information to calculate how much Insulin to inject.

If you would like to attend this course, please see either your GP, Consultant, or Diabetes Specialist Nurse who can then refer you to our service, we will then forward all the details to you about the course.
