       Significant improvement in patient safety and reduction in
       adverse events. Hypoglycaemia can lead to loss of consciousness
       and coma. Usually patients have symptoms and are able to take
       preventative action before the hypoglycaemia results in
       unconsciousness. However, some people lose these warning
       symptoms and their hypoglycaemia awareness. Data from the DAFNE
       database reveal that DAFNE training provided in routine practice
       is associated with significant improvement in glycaemic control,
       reduction in the rate of severe hypoglycaemia (defined as
       hypoglycaemia requiring third-party assistance) and an
       improvement in self-reported hypoglycaemia awareness.
