Message: <blockquote data-quote="iHs" data-source="post: 146986" data-attributes="member: 8799">2 things are gravely wrong with all this  Sharon :evil: The most serious is that not only has your gp failed to adhere to their duty of care by not issuing sufficient test strips so that you can test 6 times a day but also by not following you up every 6 months at their surgery so that you can see a visiting DSN.  If you had been reviewed by a DSN she/he would have looked at your bg diary and given you some advice regarding both your basal doses and also your bolus and you may well have been able to avoid the hypo incident altogether.  You would probably have been able to get yourself transferred over to another basal through the DSN.As Tracey has just said, your GP seems clueless about bg levels but I think reading between the lines here is that there is going to be a cover up so that they can blame their negligent behaviour onto yourself.  That is why she doesn't want to see what yr levels are on a daily basis.I think what might go in your favour would be for you to mention to the DVLA that if you had been educated properly on calculating your insulin to a carb ratio, then you would have given yourself the correct amount of bolus insulin instead of adding up the amount of carb and using guesswork (which you thought was correct) and coming unstuck.As per usual with most things, the gate gets closed after the cows have got out  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />  :twisted:</blockquote>
