[QUOTE="finzi1966, post: 2566977, member: 548675"] Also, I think it might be worth tackling the problem from the opposite direction. Does your mothers GP realise (properly realise, as in, joining the dots - I’m sure they were “informed”) that your mother had a life threatening hypo? Hypos in the elderly are generally feared profoundly by HCP’s - there is simply no justification for risking hypos in a 90 year old. That’s why the HbA1C targets are higher in the elderly, because (to be frank) tight blood sugar control to avoid complications 10-20 years down the line is not really the top priority. So aside from pleading for a CGM (and I have every sympathy with why you would want to, and hope they are obliging) I think a conversation needs to be had with your GP about WHY she is on a tablet that risks hypos at all?
