[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1605044, member: 30007"] Hi [USER=33746]@mossy71[/USER] - this raises a number of concerns. The behaviour you have described sounds very much more like a hypo than hyperglycaemia. I have been in a similar state after drinking and with an unrecognised very low blood glucose level. The knowing nothing about it is also something that is very common in hypoglycaemia. Your description of his Hba1C and has retinopathy changes in his eyes, which are often symptoms of blood glucose levels that swing up and down dramatically, are also important to note in this context. When he was taken to the police station, what was he charged with? What actions were taken by the police in response to the charge and your concerns? Was he provided with insulin overnight? Waking up at 15 would be quite normal as the body's response to hypoglycaemia, especially if no background insulin was provided. You do need to get answers to these questions, as the charges, no glucose testing on the part of the police and withholding insulin for a Type 1 (which is essential medication under the equality act) are behaviours that would not look all that helpful on the police in court. On the other hand if he was charged with drug related offences and they had blood tested him and obtained a positive outcome, the situation is rather different. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful, but unfortunately there are a lot of ifs and buts in this situation that would need clarity before we could provide you with any helpful benefits. [/QUOTE]
