[QUOTE="iHs, post: 370411, member: 8799"] Hi The only way by my thinking in preventing hypos is to test more frequently as that will allow you to catch the hypo before it has had a chance to get very bad and eat some carb if necessary. Not everyone can get really good control with only eating 3 meals per day and have perfect bg levels mid morning and mid afternoon. Some can and some cant. I think testing your bg levels freqently even though the cost of teststrips is costing the NHS a fortune in money, will enable you to get better control even if you do need to eat a small snack. You need to remind your dsn that the cost to the NHS through you not testing, is going to be far greater than the cost of not prescribing sufficient teststrips. A trip to A&E for a hypo is very costly and the fact that your husband has had his employment terminated because of the hypos you have is very costly. I can appreciate from reading yr msg about your husband as employers will use any excuse they can in terminating employment. [/QUOTE]
