It is difficult and it's not easy when you are feeling panicky and told to try not to stress. One can even say it's annoying as it kind of invalidates your feelings which are real and genuine.  In this instance though, your body's stress response is not helping you. The internet is full of scary articles when it comes to health. You can look up a simple headache and tumour pops up. The bottom line is 15 mmol/Ls is not at emergency levels. It could do with coming down for sure, but it's not worthy enough to cause you to feel panicky and stress you right out. Those kind of numbers do damage, but over many years. As we get older some Drs like to keep blood sugars higher, especially when we are on blood lowering meds that can cause hypoglycaemic events, which are far more dangerous to deal with. This is just my personal  view and certainly not medical advice. Keep contacting 111. Don't be afraid of calling them until they respond. This is your well being, not theirs so keep calling until they call you back.</blockquote>
