[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1489446, member: 32394"] I am also having trouble getting glucagon prescribed. I had to push quite hard to get access to it with request 1 & 2 declined, letter from DSN ignored and letter 2 from DSN resulting in 1 vial of hypostop. No repeat prescription. Good job when I was unconscious hypo last month my parents just called the ambulance and didn't attempt glucagon. I hadn't even told them what it was because it's my only one I don't really want to be carting it out of the fridge to show them. Which is a shame because I could really do with leaving one in work, where I have also had ambulance attendances to give me glucagon while having a nice lie down on the floor. GP resistance to prescribing glucagon for me has always been explained previously on the basis that I live alone, so who's going to administer it? I have been summoned for a prescription review next week and, well, I'm not cured, so getting glucagon on my repeat seems like the only thing to be discussed at the review. Any tips on getting glucagon added to the repeat, are there any guidelines etc that would support this? [/QUOTE]
