    Problem with Novo Pen

    From reading you account I do think that the Hospital clinic should have been more helpful, i'm not T1 and not on insulin but I'd have probably gone to their A & E as a last resort given you BG was getting higher. I've had no contact with hospital diabetic clinics before but surely this kind of...

    High levels

    I would think after sometime you would have all the usual dangerous complications of high glucose levels such as your eyesight going or even losing a foot. I'm no expert but I think even if you keep the DKA from happening you are still at a high risk of all the other stuff. I'm sure there are...

    Driving Instructor

    Hi @SydnieO I would have thought that where medication for diabetes is concerned and those on insulin have to report this to the DVLA then the same criteria would apply if a person was instructing someone to drive as technically you are responsible in both instances if you know what I mean...
