[QUOTE="alaska, post: 203405, member: 14213"] [b]Re: HOW CAN THEY PUT ME INTO ESA WRAG GROUP WHEN MY WIFE IS [/b] Hi Steve This sounds very unpleasant. This sounds like one of the times when some basic compassion is allowed no room for manoeuvre within the guidelines. I don't know enough about this area to know whether this is the guidelines themselves or on the part of the individual employee here? I hope this isn't too invasive a question, I'm wondering how your control is and whether the need for glucagon to be available could be reduced? I had some pretty graphic hypos earlier in my career. In my case I was fortunate as I had nurses at my workplace who were able to administer glucagon. Luckily this was only only needed once but assistance was needed at other times by other means. For me, I took the decision to go onto a low carb diet to try and rid myself of the roller-coaster ups and down in sugar levels. Thankfully it worked well for me, improving my hypo awareness and I've yet to have a hypo situation I've not been in control of since. I think you have a more pressured situation than I was in at the time. I might consider one of the following options: Booking onto a Dafne course Getting a book on a low carb diet -the one that, it's fair to say, saved me from my daily big highs and big lows was Dr Bernstein's Diabetes Solution [/QUOTE]
