[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2004999, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=468630]@emily deacon[/USER], It is scary !! Thoughts: 1) look maybe at Medic Alert which is a system where you wear a bracelet or necklace with basic details on it and a phone number which connects 24/7 to a service which has a more detailed listing of your health conditions. Ambulance personnel, police etc are trained to look for them. There are other such systems also. 2) In Australia we also have a system where you can have a special key safe bolted to the wall outside your front door with a keyed pad for unlocking with the combination only known to police, fire and ambulance plus yourself and partner so that those persons can gain access to you if needed. 3) We also place a medical history summary of each occupant of the house in a folder on the top of the fridge and the ambulance personnel know to look for that also. 4) Some people wear a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) with an alarm for if BSLs get below a certain level. An example as the Libre, and there are others used separately or with an insulin pump. 5) Read book or e-book Dr Bernstein's Diabetes Solution' and see if that is something that appeals. Less carbs = less insulin = (usually) less risk of hypos. 6) Think about getting a pet dog Best Wishes:):):) [/QUOTE]
