[QUOTE="ann34+, post: 1669738, member: 94348"] do you mean that she is adjusting insulin but not using blood testing to work out how to adjust, or just that she has testing equipment at home, but has not had any blood tests done at her doctors or a hospital? .As mentioned above, she needs to be properly tested and the type one diagnosis confirmed at a hospital. Re Type one, if that is the correct diagnosis, insulin and strips to test blood glucose several times a day are essential, esp as, particularly at this time of year, the body's response to any illness could lead to a fast rise in blood glucose to the extent that, despite some insulin, ketones are produced and an emergency is created. If she has worries re hypos, and unstable diabetes etc and is not able to address them at the GP, or is not feeling well, despite the fact that both of you have tried to get help with the GP, then a start would be to go the the nearest urgent care centre or A and E. They will have to send a report re the situation to your GP, who may have not understood her situation due to the time pressures that there are now at GPs in the uk, You are lucky as you are in central london where there are good hospitals, best wishes [/QUOTE]
