[QUOTE="Gaz-M, post: 1622309, member: 161717"] My exerience of living with type1 diabetes for 45 years.... well my memory is broken, I read today about testing urine with tablets which I can but just remember, the guilotine I just remember (Dr Lillington gave me that he was my favourite Diabetic Dr 1979 I think) and talk of coma's, I have had erm 5-8 episodes of this which I do not like to think about or tbh can remember any of them or the coming around of them but I Do remeber shame I have felt when having 2 in public and coming round in a hospital. In my old job my boss was full up to date with diabetes as I kept her upto date etc, the new job I am in well thats totally different, I tell them I'm hypo they just look at me and I sometimes feel like just not treating it so they can deal with the fallout from it..... Hypo's in public places ......... I have had 7 biggies as far as I know ...... private bad hypos ............ maybe 25-30 (this was when I was younger and not testing and drinking alot )...................... rushed into hospital 8 times ............ now suffer from Diabetic neuropathy, Hyponatraemia, Thyrotoxicosis, Bilateral cataracts, Total prosthetic replacement of hip joint (right Hip) . Avascular necrosis of bone (left hip), Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive airways disease (non diabetic related), maculopathy, I could go on but writing this is erm disturbing if yo know what I mean~?.......... I like to think of myself as normal (*** is that) haha [/QUOTE]
