[QUOTE="cugila, post: 145997, member: 15325"] Hi Sue. I agree with Sid and I cannot believe that a Hospital Consultant would tell you such a thing as the levels you quote, They are certainly not what my Consultant would go along with or my SDSN. They would be horrified. The level of 2.9 mmol/l is for a Clinical Diagnosis of Hypoglycaemia when someone is in Hospital together with other criteria. It is called the 'Whipples Triad' and is NOT the generally accepted levels which are in use in most of the Medical World for daily Bg levels. He sounds a little confused........ :shock: Mind you....what do I know....I'm just a Diabetic !! Does he know nothing about DVLA rules that state as an Insulin treated Diabetic you shouldn't even drive with levels of 4 mmol/l or below. I would get a second opinion as 4 mmol/l is definitely the floor and you are then into hypo territory. Perhaps he should do some research into hypo levels and tell us where we are all going wrong. I could say more but I would probably get kicked off the Forum !! :twisted: Sometimes I despair....... :roll: Ken [/QUOTE]
