- People treating me differently. This is the hand I was dealt and I'm happy to live with it. ;-)
Morning all.
I have been trying to make a joke of this but it is actually seriously playing on my mind now and I'm hoping for some information, ideas and advice.
I have always had very good hypo awareness and was able to treat it accordingly and get on with life but recently my awareness seems to have completely disappeared and I'm getting into the low 2.somethings without even knowing.
I don't drive due to retinopathy so don't see myself as a danger to anyone other than myself and I already test my blood around ten times a day so how do I get on top of this problem before it totally crushes my confidence in what I'm doing.
My DSN is always telling me that the most important thing is to 'normalize ' my condition but carrying glucose tablets, Lucozade and extra testing supplies doesn't seem very normal to me!
Hope you can help?
