[QUOTE="Energize, post: 1303971, member: 28960"] Thanks to you, Brunneria, donnellysdogs and Enclave My apologies for not replying sooner. I was very busy last evening and have been out (shopping in Cambridge) all day today so not long home, had something to eat and a hot drink now. :) Your comments have been very supportive. I was wondering if I was just being too fussy and expecting too much ;) Thanks for your comments. Donnellysdogs, your information regarding your experiences regarding B12 is very interesting. I, too, have had surgery and radiotherapy for breast cancer (almost 5 yrs ago now) so your reference to levels changing re cancer will be very useful. Thank you. Also, well done for coping with all you clearly have to ;) Well, I have to laugh - coz if I didn't, I'd be so depressed and frustrated. I don't know what the Diabetes Nurse has told my GP as a result of my review yesterday. The GP has been trying to ring me all day. I had THREE messages left from him on my answerphone when I got in this evening (having been in Cambridge enjoying myself all day :) ) I got a call, on my mobile, just before getting home, while I was in the Fish and Chip shop!!! I had to laugh!!! In fact, for those getting concerned about the F&C shop, I got only a piece of fish (no chips) and, once home, ate the fish and only a tiny portion of the batter. I was too tired to get myself my tea, hence the rare decision to get the fish. :) It has only raised my glucose level a small amount and was lovely :) So, the GP had clearly been told I was driving, not testing beforehand and having hypos, assuming while driving so he was very concerned, naturally enough. So much for accurate information being passed on and so much for the Nurse actually listening, let alone 'hearing', what I had said. He also asked if I had been unconscious due to a hypo! Yeah, great - I live alone! That would have been fun, eh??? I wouldn't have known much about it, maybe ;) He also pointed out that I must test before driving - Yeah? Doh!
