Not sure which survey you are referring to but I would imagine that many T1's get to go to A&E due to excess insulin causing their blood sugars to go too low.Just completed the survey. There was a question about number of visits to A&E in last 6 months. Which I wondered about. I have been diagnosed since 2000 and have never been to an A&E, never needed to. So wondered why, under what circumstances, for what reasons, people would do this?

Hypo's, hypers with ketoacidosis, they'll put a T1 in hospital right quick. T2's who don't use insulin don't usually have hypo's, and ketoacidosis is a T1 thing for the most part as well. So yeah... That could mean going to A&E on a regular basis. It just all depends on what type of diabetes you have, brittle or not, etc...Just completed the survey.

I do that falling asleep thing too! It's a rapid rise that gets me.Thankfully I've never been, except on diagnosis. I've been down at 1.2 but somehow my husband sorted it out and I got through it OK without needing an ambulance. Highs I can tell because I fall asleep when my blood gets up to about 13 - in the middle of a conversation, anywhere really. As soon as that happens I know why and can do the needful
