[QUOTE="rowleyd3, post: 992123, member: 212517"] My son is 12 and was diagnosed 10 months ago. We've not had aggressive hypos, but have had really stroppy hypos and highs. However, it won't be long until he's a teenager, so I do worry about this. Being logical (I know logic and hypos don't go together), but why don't people who are prone to this have CGM's or Libre's so they can tell when they are approaching a hypo/high and catch it? Is it purely cost, as I know they both cost serious money to setup or to pay for consumables. In my sons case, it's because we're still just about to start on a pump, so wanted him to get used to manual checking rather than rely on tech. I'm hovering over the 'post' button wondering if I should post this but please, and I mean this honestly, it's not a criticism .... I just wanted to know what goes through people's heads, so I can help him through it, if/when it occurs? [/QUOTE]
