[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2143454, member: 372717"] OK, I can't comment on your eye situation other than I know that eye treatment is improving all the time, very few diabetics go blind now, and avoiding sudden changes in blood sugar is supposed to help.... As regards the libre and hypos 1) Are you sure your hypo awareness is permanently gone? I've had periods of loss of hypo awareness in the past, and so far it's always come back if I keep my blood sugar higher (I aim for 6 - 12) and avoid hypos for a while (weeks, not months). 2) I'm guessing you'll arrange your phone so that it doesn't go on the floor in the future but I believe you can arrange for alarms to be sent to family members? 3) Libre irritation. There are a number of threads about this issue and you should be aware that the libre can become inaccurate if the skin around it becomes irritated, so I'd recommend both investigating skintac wipes and doing some spot checks to see whether your libre is reading correctly. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
