Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mrs HJG" data-source="post: 2632345" data-attributes="member: 552087">Hi [USER=578112]@dicktracy121[/USER] I hate hearing your story and can say I went through the same, given a dozen prescriptions, inc Humulin m3, metformin, test strips, lancets, sharps bin the lot, a £100+ prescription bill and sent on my way after being shown how to inject once, when I couldn't really see through the tears never alone take on board anything that was being said to me - so believe me when I say you will get through this.My BG was up in the 20s and dropped below 10 within a week and then hitting low 5s soon after and the 'sugar withdrawal' was real, shakes and all - so this could be what you are experiencing - but call your doctors surgery tomorrow, it is not right to be abandoned so quickly - you have to be your own advocate - I am pleased you found this forum so quickly though, I spent a few weeks without any support or knowing where to turn and it was awful, (and it was Christmas, welcome to my pity party, I'm not bitter <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />).Not to scare you, but to reassure you, if your blood glucose drops quickly, you could experience a lot of visual disturbance, it happens, it's scary BUT not to be unexpected, even if your doctors surgery have never heard of it and send you off for an urgent, (and completely pointless appointment at Specsavers!).  Your eyes have been used to high glucose and don't adjust as quickly as your blood, so you could get a bit of blurry vision.  Just top of my list of things I wish I'd been told.Take care.</blockquote>
