[QUOTE="Tracey167, post: 370398, member: 23764"] Hi I started doing more blood glucose testing instead of 4 times a day i am also doing 2 hours after meals as well so in total i'm doing around 8 tests a day. BUT when i told the diabetic nurse this the other day she told me NOT to do tests after meals only before but i think this is NOT good advise from her, the reason i started doing more tests was to try and take more control of my HYPOS and hopefully stop them before they take hold. As for relying on my husband i do not rely on him, the reason for him becoming my carer was because when i lost my awareness a few years back he used to call me reguarly from work to check if i was ok, but on a few occassions he would have to leave work urgently as i was unwell, and unfortunatly he lost his job,so from then he felt uncomfortable leaving me alone with young children and not knowing what he would come home to and was advised to become a carer. Like i said i have run high levels before for around 7 - 8 weeks but this did not bring my awareness back, i am willing to try again because i know life would be so much easier for me and my husband if i had my awareness back, he could return to work and i could maybe do a part time job or even a part time college course. tracey167 [/QUOTE]
