[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 146943, member: 17713"] Thank you for the information Tracey. That too is very helpful, have you managed to get your licence back, did you send the DVLA copies of your blood tests? I have actually asked the DVLA whether I could show them all my readings, foods and bloods, as this GP and this hospital have never looked at them, and yet they are writing the report on me. Actually the plain truth is, I have only been to this hospital once prior to this incident, and they didn't look at any of my daily levels or records, and sent me away for 12 months. It was only on the day after this incident that I had my 2nd 12 month hospital visit, when the 1st consultant ran to get the chief honcho registrar who came in to the room and said I needed to raise my levels to get my hypo awareness back, this was when I said to them AGAIN, I [b]had[/b] hypo awareness and I was sorting myself out. He then had a very quick cursory glance at my levels and said my morning ones were too low. Nobody discussed what I had ate that day, what injections I had had, or whether I had done anything out of the ususal. The nurse said afterwards 'do I carb count? and do I alter my injections?' to which I replied, 'how do you think I have managed for 25 years?'- not really the best thing to say I know. I used to have an excellent rapport with last GP who would let me email him ref diabetes and medical issues, and I have 4 different excel sheets on with all my blood, food etc on from 3 years ago, that proves how balanced I have been, and they could check these out with my previous GP. I just feel so very angry with myself and as if I am on a loser here with the support I have had with my diabetes, and even when I saw the GP on Tuesday this week she didn't even want to look at my daily blood levels, she said all she was interested in was my HbA1C. I am going to print off my old record sheets and emails that I used to send my previous GP and take with me today, and leave them with the hospital nurse to go on my file, and going to copy my current daily records to also leave with her to go on my file. I do not know how I can get support from my GP surgery, if the senior practive GP doesn't think my daily BG's are worth while looking at. I was previously looked after by my GP who was fantastic, but here I had to ask to get referred to the hospital 18 months ago, as the GP's would only let me have 2 strips per day. They increased them when the hospital wrote and told them too. I am going to ask them today to write another letter asking the GP to give me even more strips. I feel a lot better knowing now, what may happen. Your experience and Simon's have been invaluable to read. I feel stronger from having read your experiences. Would you be able to let me know Tracey if you got your licence back, and what you did or didn't do to get it back? Many thanks Sharon [/QUOTE]
