Ironic in what way? If you mean I was doffing my cap to you, yes ma'am, for your stamina and clear decorum for dealing with the pest all those years!

Thank you! I think those of us who’ve had it a long time, and are lucky enough to have no complications, are so used to living with it that it’s just a part of life. B annoying at times, but then so are many other things. It doesn’t hold us back, we just have to carry around a bit more kit and do a few more calculations. I imagine your past experiences will have been good training for that.

- Hypos, rude people, ignorance and grey days.
If you can ask your diabetic team about getting a prescription for the Libre then that would help you see which direction your blood glucose levels are going and potentially stave off a possible hypo, avoiding them will help you cope better as hypos can be challenging.
I also recommend when your newly diagnosed to just keep a log or diary and jot down your results to track them, it helps then to see patterns and if your having repeat hypos then it easier to identify which insulin needs adjusting, if you like phone apps then download Diasend as its free and you can email the results direct to your nurse.
