Hello Hive mind
Im trying to complete a pegasus card, which allows police (I have been mistaken for being drunk while having a low - autistic & just shut down even at the best of times.)

I need to explain that I have unstable Type 1 diabetes, hypoawareness is dicey at best, and use a Dexcom CGM that is connected to my phone. that I need to check BG on a very regular basis - probably more regularly than usual

Unsure that made any sense

Thanx in advance

What you’ve written looks fine to me @Icantsleep, don’t forget to include you are autistic too along with how that makes things more difficult and what they can do to help you. The more information you can give the better.

If you need more help to fill in the form maybe you could contact one of the charities for help
Diabetes.UK
Diabetes UK Helpline | Diabetes UK

Though I’ve never really found the NAS very helpful but if you have a local branch then they may be more helpful

Also your local Citizen Advice can be very helpful for filling forms
