I really wish my various specialists had given me these pieces of advice instead of rushing me in and out the clinic! Thank god for these forums eh? I'm adopting the gradual lowering approach now. If I'd known that lows were as dangerous as highs I probably wouldn't be in the situation I found...

Thanks for your concern Damonfrog. Apart from the bruising and concussion I'm doing ok now. My sugar levels have improved the last couple of days too - upping the Lantus and lowering the fast acting seems to have done the job xxx

Hi Everyone, I'm new here but have a problem I've never come across before which has really upset me and I don't know what to do. I've been type 1 diabetic for 22 years and have moved around the country a lot, so changed GP loads of times. They've all been brilliant, really supportive and...
