[QUOTE="JMK1954, post: 1801714, member: 352098"] My mother drove me up the wall when she came with me to a non diabetes-related hospital appointment. The plan was that we would have our lunch in the city centre and then visit the archives section of the local library. In the hospital waiting room, she kept asking me if I needed to eat and produced biscuits from her bag. I had to do a BS test to prove I wasn't falling dangerously low. (She never accepted the fact that if I was hypo, I needed something faster acting and always complained that she didn't like to see me munching glucose tablets, when she thought I could be eating something much nicer !) The final straw was when I was called in the see the consultant. She called across to me, "Take something to eat in with you, just in case." Once I got into the room, I explained what had been going on because I simply had to blow off steam. The consultant was a woman and laughed. She said a friend of hers also suffered from 'mother-induced' raised blood pressure quite frequently. When this happened I was 50 and had been a type 1 for 40 years. You have my sympathy. You just have to stick to your guns and take your own decisions. [/QUOTE]
