Hi
I lost all my hypo awareness about 4-5 years ago and my husband had to become my full-time carer, i have spoke to Doctors, diabetic nurses and diabetic consultants about it and have tried everything to try get some awareness back, but nothing, my consultant told me ages ago that as i have had type 1 for so long it is normal to lose awareness. But on Tuesday i went to the hospital to see a Diabetic nurse a different one again (i never see the same one twice) and she told me to run my sugar levels higher , i replied i have done that before and it did'nt work and she insisted that I CAN get my awareness back by doing this. At the time i did'nt say nothing but when i left the hospital and thought about it i thought what a cheek she has'nt listened to what i told her just insisted she knew more than what i did. I also told herabout my hypos and on one of the days i had a hypo after lunch and she insisted it was because of my breakfast injection (humalog) but when i tested before i had lunch my BG was 6.3 . I think she one of these job worths who thinks they know more than anyone else. She has told me to do the DAFNE course of which i agreed but i told her i can't do it in term time as my hubby has to come with me cos of my hypos as its 2 buses from where i live to the hospital and the course is 9am to 4pm she says get my hubby to pick kids up from school then come to the hospital and meet me after, i don't think so having to pay 1 adult 2 kids bus fares for 4 bus journeys there and back for 5 days. There is NO WAY my hubby will agree to that. I hope i don't see he next time.
