[QUOTE="smwsmw, post: 1803395, member: 222058"] My mother, any time I was being a grumpy teenager would ask if I was hypo - used to drive me nuts! However, at the risk of sounding like your mother, if you’re driving and think you’re going low, please stop straight away and sort yourself out - apart from anything else, it shows her what you have to do. If she makes a fuss, just calmly explain that because you’ve taken action, you are safe and she doesn’t need to worry. I think she needs some education if she’s trying to persuade you to eat doughnuts - stuff like that I hard enough to resist anyway, so how difficult that must be for you - do you see a diabetes nurse specialist who could maybe talk to your mum? I’ve had type 1 for 45 years this year and find nobody who doesn’t have it understands what it’s like, I find myself irritated if someone makes a fuss but equally irritated if they act as though it’s no big deal! In summary, my advice is to get some education for your mum but also to try to accept that she’s your mum, she loves you and, as in my previous sentence, she’d probably be annoying whatever she said or did!
