[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 846628, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome. The rules for people from overseas are not always clear and are being tightened. I suspect it's easier if you are an EU citizen. As NHS patients we get virually all of our diabetes stuff free except that T2s don't get fre meters and strips. If you are here long enough I'm sure your T1 stuff will become free. You say your blood sugars are good except for the HBa1C? The HBa1C is the real measure so you must use that reading as your overall guide. When you blood sugar is around 6 mmol you should not be feeling unwell from that. It may be the result of a false hypo if your body is 'confused'. You obviously need guidance on the causes from a diabetes specialist and to check that your insulin regime is the best one and is in balance. Diet is also important which as you may realise means keeping the carbs down. [/QUOTE]
