Received DIAB1 to complete. Just checking for question 1.4 - have you EVER had an episode of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia)? I mean, of course YES? Seems a trick question to me...
1.5 do you get warning symptoms? I do, all the time, so I can answer yes to this.
1.6 how many episodes of low blood sugar have you had whilst awake in the last 12 months? Assume this means episodes where I needed assistance? None, One, two or more... if we're talking the odd 3.8 or 3.9 the technically more than two but for the purposes of the form and the people who are reviewing it (as I can't 'explain' that a hypo at 3.8 is different to 2.8), I want to put none. The form looks as though its only interested if I tick two or more hypos, then I'm asked about assistance needed.
If I put no hypos, is this suspicious and may a raise a red flag?
