[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1846547, member: 372717"] Look, I understand you, I've had similar avoidance issues in the past (dentist, and, much much earlier in my life, the diabetic clinic). In my experience, if you ignore an issue it doesn't go away, but if you face it, whatever it is, it usually isn't nearly as bad as what you're fearing (you usually fear/imagine a worst case scenario which is far worse than what happens in practice). Most issues are treatable, and it's better to treat them early rather than late. If you're getting hypos, then that's fixable, but you need to deal with it before you have one in a situation where it kills you (eg behind the wheel of a car, or as a pedestrian crossing the road, or just not waking up at all if you go low enough). If it's not hypos but some neurological issue then that's probably fixable too, but you can't fix it till you know what it is. Please, don't wait. Get help now. [/QUOTE]
