[QUOTE="busibee, post: 174438, member: 31541"] My husband who is a Type 1 and has been for 29years also has lost awareness and is on lanctus. When he was on animal insulin years ago he had much more hypo awareness symtoms. Although he has done a DAPHNE course his control has become very erratic lately, with extreme highs and extreme lows and the diabetic nurse, at long last, has agreed to ask the consultant for a pump. He has terrible mood swings and my grown-up son and I who live with him, with the best will in the world, find the illness very challenging, to put it in a polite way. We are not basically unkind people but we are way past the end of our tether with it all. I repeat that no body else ever says that we are unkind and most people say we are gentle natured but we have long since gone past despair.The consultant and diabetic nurses have no understanding of my husband or us with regard to the hypo unawareness. We are given the impression that we are a nuisance. [/QUOTE]
