[QUOTE="iHs, post: 913115, member: 8799"] Hello March I m not sure by looking at yr photo with yr son if you have a pump or not as I think you are using what looks like an Accuchek bg meter but anyway, through having moderately bad hypos myself when I was younger and going to A & E with glucose drip in my arm and wondering what on earth happened to make diabetes disgrace me, you have my understanding. Life is full of 'if only I had done this instead of doing that', the hypo would not have taken such a hold on me but life is life and yr story is what researchers need to justify developing new technology like CGM and the closed loop artificial pancreas. CGM is in existance but is very expensive but would help guide you a bit in knowing what yr bg levels were. Other than that..?....test bg a bit more and try not to control bg too tightly unless there is an underlying reason for tighter control to be necessary. Was the paramedic right to contact social services? well yes and no but in todays world, there are so many rules and regulations. The paramedic could have shown a bit more understanding as dealing with hypoglycaemia is fairly common, but if they had turned a blind eye and you had another hypo requiring their help and yr son was also gravely affected, then questions would be asked as to why the previous hypo incidents had not been reported, so as awful as the whole situation was, a child's welfare is no 1 so that is why they took the steps that they did. All the best anyway xxxxx definately look at CGM as new technology will be with us within the next year they will increase the competition. [/QUOTE]
