[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 370441, member: 17713"] Good to read your posting Tracey. Me personally, I dont think that anybody with hypo unawareness should be told not to test after meals etc.... You need to be able to test regularly... New pump people have to test every 2 hours because of the need to get their insulin right.. Throughout the night too!! So why should you be told 4 times a day just before meals and probably before bed too. Good for you... It will give you so much more good self esteem back... Not saying its low... But, ia few more tests to get levels higher, get hypo risks less and get realisation back will enable you both to live with more freedom... Not less because of testing. I dont care how many times I test to keep myself healthy. Had a cgm which was helpful on occasions before it blew itself up... Now I'm back to blood tests again. I regularly test overnight... If you really need to at your most vulnerable times.. Test hourly for a day at those times...It enables you to see just when your drops are happening... The biggest drop in bloods could be at a time before the actual hypo... Great to read that you are positive and doing more tests.. [/QUOTE]
