[QUOTE="Lucie75, post: 533636, member: 23580"] I too can remember being made to have a hypo before being allowed home from hospital as an 8 year old. I didn't get the sweats or anything, just kept laughing at everything the nurse said. My parents said to her "Is this all it is? But she laughs all the time anyway. How will we know?!?!?!" I can remember it vividly (which is odd in itself IF I was in fact hypo). It all seems so long ago now. I wonder if times have changed for the treatment of newly diagnosed T1 children in hospital? They only taught my parents how to do my injections, and how to prick my finger without a device just in case my finger pricker broke. My dad did it and really hurt me and he still remembers the fear he felt doing it 30 years on. I had to have a district nurse visit me at home for weeks to teach me how to inject. I absolutely refused to do it! I can see myself as a stubborn 8 year old completely ignoring her! Poor lady! [/QUOTE]
