[QUOTE="Spencer67, post: 1627084, member: 154609"] Hey [USER=416946]@Fatima_94[/USER], I've had T1 over 20yrs, I found friends and even getting family to understand type 1 and low bg is like banging your head against a wall, it's like groundhog day... if they don't have it they will find it hard to relate, having diabetes tends to be a very personal journey. Your 4th year medical student friend sounds as if she has little experience of diabetes and so she is exactly what she still is... a student, even some qualified GPs don't get it. You are not the only one who has had multiple lows in one day, it is not unusual, just ensure you are prepared for them and live a normal a life as possible, good control is a tightrope walk for T1s and to stay within a good range for some of us is easier said than done. You will have to grow some thick skin and treat criticism like water off a ducks back. [/QUOTE]
