Hi all Didn't mean to just disappear for so long! Trying to get head round a life without my car has been hard. But am now proud owner of a mobility scooter which means I can get a pint of milk if needed and get to doctor, chemist etc. Have been juggling my pain medication so am currently...

Hi great idea. I have managed bus so far this week but hip (have lots of pain) not happy with the extra walking. Husband has just embarked on a low carb diet to loose some weight while muggins here is still unable so he is not a popular bunny at the moment. I have a medical week next week...

Hi and thanks thought that might be the case. I did tick that box on the form too. Need to work on getting something back if possible.

Hi meant to answer about how low Bg goes. Hypos that are most severe happen with swimming so have not been able to test as life guards too keen to get in the jelly babies while I am able to chew! But did have a 2.2 recently and was perfectly ok.

Hi yes just lost licence and that got me thinking about the hypo unawareness as a further obstacle to getting licence back? Will it mean my ban will continue even if no more hypo's requiring assistance? Hence the thread. Good to hear that if you can get some balance things do recover...

Hi Unfortunately I am hypo unaware and I just wondered can you become aware again? Has anyone had this happen? Is there anyway to teach your body to start giving you any clues before you get to the brain mush, unable to speak and shaking stage?

Hi thought you might like an update my licence has been revoked from tomorrow on the grounds of '2 hypo's requiring assistance in a year rule'. Still trying to get head around how I am going to manage to get out of the house but at least I have done the right thing.

Hi Thanks for the help. If I have no more severe hypos will be eligible to reapply for licence from November so yes only 7 months or so. Buses in our town run down main routes so fine if you want to go to town but to cross to another area its in to town and then out again making the 3 min ride...

well really cheesed off now good job a lot of chocolate about today cause off the wagon at moment - have just had letter from DVLA and they have taken my licence because of my '2 hypos requiring assistance in a year rule'. This is going to make life so difficult. I am disabled and cannot walk...

Hi I wanted to quiz the low carbers about fat. If I can try the low carb diet I won't be able to do the high fat bit because of a lously history of heart disease. Nosher did you say you that you don't do high fat? Plus also wanted to ask if you can do low carb sometime or do you have to do the...

Hi Did wonder when they said it which I did first!! Multi talented me!

Yep just been to fridge its glucagon. Was told inject while phoning ambulance with third or fourth hand so hopefully will be in A+E before too much spike and then drop. I carry the glucose gel as well but am reluctant to use it as it will def cause a hypo.

I need a lie down after reading just the posts never mind the articles as well!! It is fascinating though what goes wrong. I am banned from all diabetic meds because too many hypo's. If I throw in my other problem which is adrenal failure (like addisons disease) does that help or hinder the...

Ok thanks just googled it interesting will it stop pancreas producing too much insulin? Or is that why its a trial?

Hi what is byedureon please?

That is a very intersting idea and has got my brain working overtime hmmmm

Hi am beginning to realise that I am totally spoilt and feel very sorry for those of you who are still battling the NHS. I have the most delightful consultant and a diagnosis of RH (and I have type 2 as well so it is possible) plus a really good GP whose motto is 'if I can prescribe it you can...

You are right Brunneria its a heck of a lot of hassle. Main current problem is having to share apple with a dog!!

I am starting this thread for those who for some reason find that they do not want to try low carb or like me are waiting for some medical advice or who cannot do it for any other reason. I think that a low carb diet makes sense for RH but it may not be possible for everyone to do. I hope that...

Hi all just been catching up on the posts - lots of rather technical stuff about why this happens wish it could be what to do to STOP it happening!! Just a quick update have been fiddling around with bits and pieces see what happens. Saw the dietician who was not much use except to say that...
