[QUOTE="ConradJ, post: 555818, member: 66676"] If you do have this happen to you and you're on insulin, call your GP and ask him/her if they're going to restrict your insulin and change it to another type that you haven't used. When they answer 'No' to those two questions, point out to them the simple fact of life with diabetes: to administer your insulin correctly (and therefore not over or under medicate and end up in hospital - at an average of £300 per day), you NEED to know what you blood sugars are at LEAST FOUR TIMES per day - or 6-8 times per day if you're a pump user! If they try to argue the toss, ask them how they diagnose new diabetics: Do they give blood tests or do they just give a suspect a shot of insulin and see what happens next? My GP has barely dared to breathe over my prescriptions since running this past him. [/QUOTE]
