    Coping with a T1 Parent and Seizure

    That’s exactly what we need right now even if it’s just for an extra bit of support during the night or when she’s in the classroom. It’s really comforting to hear the less positive stories because sometimes constantly seeing people showing their 100% in range graphs every day, or seeing that...

    Coping with a T1 Parent and Seizure

    This was a very kind response - thanks very much for all your advice. It’s comforting hearing from people who have actually experienced it and possibly on a more gory scale as well! Definitely right about the technology, we’re looking into more reliable alerts and definitely using her meter...

    Coping with a T1 Parent and Seizure

    Definitely will be less trusting of the Libre when it’s getting to that dangerous edge of things. She’s a primary school teacher so I think the ease of it while in class has become a bit too comfortable! I think we’re definitely going to look into this as it would put all of our minds at ease...

    Coping with a T1 Parent and Seizure

    Coping with a T1 Parent and Seizure

    She normally does have good hypo awareness and is still in an early period where she gets very sweaty and faint, even when it’s a milder hypo so the awareness is still there. Sometimes she’ll nonchalantly announce to the room “does anyone else feel absolutely boiling hot right now?” before...

    Coping with a T1 Parent and Seizure

    Hello, thanks for responding. She didn’t check against a meter. The Libre hasn’t caused her any problems so far with the inaccuracies though we know it’s possible, so she rarely uses anything but the Libre to check, and of course while fitting we weren’t able to start testing her otherwise but...

    Coping with a T1 Parent and Seizure

    Long post - skip to the end if you would like (please read if you can) Hello, I’m new to the forum and was hoping to get some advice/comfort/support from anyone who has type 1 or anyone who knows about type 1 and seizures. My mum was diagnosed in October of 2018 (at 47 years old) with Type...
