[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2106250, member: 372717"] I've been to casualty a couple of times with hypos (Oh the joys of T1 pregnancy) and for other things (pregnancy, broken limbs, appendix etc). In a recent visit to my diabetic specialist I winged about the fact that my last set of blood tests had my blood sugar at 3.7 (yes, I felt low) while the test on my meter (done 5 minutes later after washing hands and before having a glucotab) was 4.7 and 4.8. She suggested I get the alternate New Zealand meter, which also does ketones. I told her I'd never had DKA in 49 years and thought it unlikely I'd get it in the future (given the amount I test) and she told me she had many patients (didn't specify T1 or T2) who ran hba1cs of 100 and were permanently a couple of days away from a DKA. Scary stuff..... [/QUOTE]
