[QUOTE="UK T1, post: 2390453, member: 503751"] Sorry to hear about this. You have to declare if you've had a hypo requiring assistance when you get the renewal forms (I get mine every 3 years). I don't think a one off will affect it, but haven't any experience. I always have glucose tablets in a pocket/bag as they're such a small packet and don't get affected by temp it is easy to have them as back up. His GP should be able to update his prescription to Libre 2, they cost the NHS the same as Libre 1 but have alarms you can set to go off at a level of your choosing. Eg if I'm exercising then I'll set the 'low' alarm to go off at a higher level than usual. It shouldn't have to go through his clinic, I just rang my GP and they switched it for me. If his blood has been yo-yoing a bit recently then his hypo symptoms might not come on like they were before. I find my symptoms appear when I'm at a different level to normal. So if I've been running high for a few days then I'll get hypo symptoms when I'm back in normal range, and if I've been yo-yoing then I lose symptoms of high/low at the levels I've been yo-yoing to after a few days (eg if I've been going from 3.5-10, I wouldn't get symptoms til under 3.5 or over 10 typically). Hopefully his muscles aren't too painful today? [/QUOTE]
