Did you ever get into the police ?

I have seen on there website that it says most likely not suitable for the role of police officer but needs to be assessed individually. Just confused as to why this discrimination still exists today really, because that is what it is discrimination. Just wondering if anyone has had any luck...

I test and take a correction dose at 12.5 and two minutes later it reads 15.4 it literally jumps up like this quite often can’t figure it out. I wash my hands and check again and still it reads 15.4 seems that the insulin just makes it spike almost like it puts the body under more stress
