[QUOTE="kegstore, post: 109418, member: 16530"] Lucie Well done for finding this place and having the courage to talk about what happened to you. I'm sure quite a lot of diabetics have horror stories about bad hypos, and they're a terribly personal thing that really stick with you. As others have said, don't feel guilty about what could have happened, it didn't. But clearly you're still worried. Counselling can be very helpful so do go to your GP and tell him/her how you feel. I did this a couple of years back after my worst hypo ever, and the support was definitely there when I needed it. PTSD is a horrible thing but you can get through it. How is your hypo awareness? Given your home circumstances you might be successful in getting CGM funded. Worth a try, although I still get the occasional really bad hypo that the system doesn't catch, their frequency is much reduced. [/QUOTE]
