Hello,
This is my first post here.
I'm a type one diabetic for 36 years but recently I'm not waking up if I have a hypo while I'm asleep.
I have always gotten up in the past but the last few years it's causing me issues and my wife.
My wife is always on edge of I don't wake up. This has started to cause problems with out marriage as it's too much pressure for her.
I have the dexcom one which I use the scanner that comes with it but this doesn't always wake me up. The hospital are planning to give me the dexcom 6 but this date hasn't been guaranteed as it's all down to NHS funding.
I have Ms for the last 8 years and I have found it a lot difficult to maintain my sugars since my ms.
My HbA1c has always been great but the last few months I have had to try and get my blood a little higher so I don't have hypos.
Before the dexcom I had the freestyle libre 2 and this was on my phone, even on full this still didn't wake me
Has anyone had this problem before and if so how did they fix this?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Keith
