Hello Everyone,
I would like to know if anyone has opinions and advice about the safety and possible challenges of someone with Type 1 Diabetes living alone. I am thinking of the issue of hypos in the middle of the night or early mornings, also the difficulty of staying motivated to manage the condition as successfully as possible, perhaps feeling discouraged and needing support, the worry and stress about going into a coma and having no-one there to phone for an ambulance.
Please let me know what you think or have you yourself had experience of living alone and managing Type 1?
Thanks,
Ellen
