[QUOTE="ronialive, post: 932528, member: 53168"] It sounds like people are trying to help and advise with your housing. So I will try to hep with the diabetes. I have recently been through a few situations where my stress was so high that diabetes went crazy and I also have an autistic son. I worked on the basis f lowering my basal rate and then if it went high dealing with it with the short acting. I found this was safer. I was so stressed I could hardly eat either and was maybe having half a piece of bread and 1 potato etc a day so blood sugars were terrible. Glucotabs are great to carry round and if you have no pockets then have a bum bag for this period of time. The best is Lucozade and also keep some cereal bars in the bag then you do not need to ask your son for help. Spend some time taking hypos through with him and teaching him to give you licozade and not to walk away so it becomes a routine. There is a dvd about hypos which may help.

Gp through the hospital not the GP. my blood test meter has a time alarm on it so maybe change metes and set an alarm hourly to ensure you don't miss a test for a while.. It is easy to say but from a stress point of view some small and simple steps are to just take a walk and go and sit and look at a pretty view. small steps but each one will help. cant beat jolly old Lucozade. Important that you don't go too high so maybe get a small bottle and measure out suingle doses or the swing back will cause problems [/QUOTE]
