[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1348097, member: 355878"] I think it must have been the consultant who doesn't understand diabetes - the man would have been in his thirties when the diagnosis was made, and is now in his 60s. He's been having hypos all the time. He could not keep his licence as a heavy goods vehicle driver. He's been told that he can get compensation for the error, but he's more concerned about the damage his use of insulin has had when he never needed it in the first place. Just in case it is not clear - the man was never a diabetic. The new consultant was reviewing blood test results and realised that something was wrong in a number of cases. The man has stopped all use of insulin after getting a phone call from the new consultant. [/QUOTE]
