Thnx
@Hirstygirl.. Very much appreciated. I am so sorry you lost your licence. I almost did in 2010 due to a driving incident but I was treating my hypo and I had pulled over...currently my Consultant is still confident that I am aware of hypo's but the trouble is double trouble with high levels from food up to 15 hours after I have ate. People from years ago on here know I basal test, do everything OTT and I'm still struggling...
I am due back on a pump on 2nd August, much against my wishes as I am still thin and this was the reason I was advised to come off it. I'm not so muscley now though. I do have some loose skin,although I wouldn't call it fat, I am still barely a size 8.
My problem is lack of fingers to use and quantity of tests needed due to slow colonic and stomach.. Although I have awareness to treat myself the length of time for glucose and liver to react can be very long.... Ie couple weeks ago I was 4.1 and made the mistake of testing before my DSN who then wouldn't let me go until my levels were above 5 for 20 mins to drive home...so I had my normal sugar, and then she insisted I had orange juice, and then insisted on another glass of orange juice and then insisted on a peeled peach (I cannot eat skins)... Because my levels were coming up fast enough for her.... I know nowadays my levels stat low longer but it doesn't mean I rush in and over treat them.... 3 hours later my levels were 20... I could have quite easily waited and waited but health officials don't care about over treating.. Slow stomach and colon also impacts with rises for foods, and I can only eat limited foods. I have a different hospital now and CCG due to moving and they are dreadful compared to my previous CCG and Consultant. I've written all my details to the APPG and to my CCG and Consultant and Nurse. I'm not expecting miracles.. But I am hoping tat the APPG for diabetes will consider all my complaints and compliments and considerations for improving diabetic care...
