Hi all. Wondering if you can help. I am on an insulin pump. I have anxeity and problems with having to change basal every week due to hormones..........I have full hypo awareness. Never had a severe hypo. ......diabetic nurse asked me to fill out gold score questionnaire..as she thought I would be a good candidate for cgm funding.....everything I've filled out states that I have awareness........the only thing I put at the bottom was I fear having a hypo because I have generalised anxeity and panic attacks......... I received a copy of letter to gp today which states funding has been granted as I have a gold score of over 4! I don't understand......looking this up it suggests I'm hypo unaware?!!?!?! Now I drive....never had issues....I'm not hypo unaware......should I be concerned by the letter??? Sat here anxious thinking I can't drive! I've no idea why the hospital sent this letter.......I suppose what am.asking is... Has anyone else been given a high gold score but actually has full awareness but been given because of anxeity and fear of one?
