[QUOTE="prancer53, post: 1493267, member: 85578"] Have a GP just like that eg " shouldn't eat anything sweet (even when hypo) because it causes pancreas to produce more insulin so therefore contributory to another hypo" (I HAVE BEEN TYPE 1 FOR 56 YEARS--have no insulin). "Should eat low GI food to stop hypos" (error--tried that--caused more hypos because of very slow release of amount of CHO eaten). "You have metabolic disorder"--Error --I have AUTOIMMUNE DISORDER............could go on (& on & on) but risk becoming extremely boring. Oh just going to add that hospital diabetes consultant is no better: When I enquired about a CGM, 3 years ago, he told me that they were only for diagnostic purposes. .........how wrong can a diabetes consultant be----sorry but I think it is all political to a) save money & b) medics are told how they s/b educating those with diabetes, unfortunately it isn't always the right way!!! Also think that there is tremendous confusion, on part of medics, re type 1 & type 2 diabetes (& they see far more type 2s)--eg am now 63 & docs seem to assume therefore that I have metabolic disorder which contributed to diagnosis of diabetes--this is in spite of, when asked, my telling them I have had diabetes 56 years--they obviously think I have dementia too so ability to count has been impeded.............sorry for f[B]acetiousness[/B] ---is a coping mechanism on my part........
