Thank you everyone for sharing information. A couple of points....
( Not **** Brett. All useful knowledge!
) I'm gradually understanding more about the science behind LC, it's fascinating and makes even more sense to me.
Smidge, my Diabetic Nurse mentioned the possibility of swapping to basal/bolus. I have to call her tomorrow so will raise it with her again because I really think LC is the way for me
Noblehead. The driving thing is my biggest concern. Having been off the road already due to a GP error, I am extremely careful about testing pre driving etc. Living where I do, with my lifestyle, and alone, driving is essential. Fingers crossed it was a one off!
iHs. I normally get true hypo feelings below 4.2.....under normal circumstances 3.6 has me reaching for glucose pretty fast. Last night I thought I'd be ok. Usual amount for dinner etc except I couldn't finish it and thereby, I think, lay the basic problem. I always carry emergency glucose supply especially as I lead an active life in some fairly isolated places, and had I picked up on the usual hypo warnings I wouldn't have got as low (for me) as I did.
I'm enjoying this "voyage of discovery" and really appreciate the help and time you all so readily give. Thank you
