[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1213362, member: 17713"] Thnx [USER=202351]@Hirstygirl[/USER].. Very much appreciated. I am so sorry you lost your licence. I almost did in 2010 due to a driving incident but I was treating my hypo and I had pulled over...currently my Consultant is still confident that I am aware of hypo's but the trouble is double trouble with high levels from food up to 15 hours after I have ate. People from years ago on here know I basal test, do everything OTT and I'm still struggling... I am due back on a pump on 2nd August, much against my wishes as I am still thin and this was the reason I was advised to come off it. I'm not so muscley now though. I do have some loose skin,although I wouldn't call it fat, I am still barely a size 8. My problem is lack of fingers to use and quantity of tests needed due to slow colonic and stomach.. Although I have awareness to treat myself the length of time for glucose and liver to react can be very long.... Ie couple weeks ago I was 4.1 and made the mistake of testing before my DSN who then wouldn't let me go until my levels were above 5 for 20 mins to drive home...so I had my normal sugar, and then she insisted I had orange juice, and then insisted on another glass of orange juice and then insisted on a peeled peach (I cannot eat skins)...
