Thats only for computer files, i suppose it would depend on how far back you would like to and if you want any of the paper notes they have on you... i would love to get my records... it would be an interesting read!!

Im really glad im not the only one who hates the whole baggage that has to be carted around... my daughters changing bag is always overflowing... carbs n cal book, hypo kit, Accu- check glucose monitor kit, Ketones blood monitor and strips, finger pricker, and then the everyday nappies, wipes...

WOW, thats REEEEEALLY bad!!!!! i think to get a copy of your recordsit costs £50... how ever apparently you can book an appointment to view it for free... but you will have to look up how that works.

Hiya, i think maybe you are taking the way they have written it as you declined or refused the treatment... could it not mean that they declined you treatment based on the fact that you were too ill???

We do our daughters in the morning now as she used to wake up low, most of the time hypo when we gave it at her bedtime.

Ah Ava was took into hospital DKA, Thats probs why we were told to expect her to eat loads for short amount of time then. We are very lucky she is still here the state she was in!! Avas lowest hypo has been 1.1 and she showed no signs what so ever!! but then sometimes the sweat can be pouring...

hi... my daughter was having the same issues with hers... a few weeks ago however she was swapped onto a different meter (and a new finger pricker came along side it) she now has the Roche ACCU-CHEK Multiclix which is alot better and as an added bonus it has has lancet cartridges that i only...

haha... *waiting to hear whether it is or not lol*

my daughter had hers about 2-3 weeks back... me nor my partner have ever had it but we left the surgery with a smile. someone mentioned earlier on the thread about allergic reaction... the jab contains egg in it... so we were smiling bout my daughter having egg injected in her leg lol... on a...
