[QUOTE="rosco 2, post: 1919348, member: 479742"] I tread delicately here. Of course hypos are life threatening. It is also true that vast numbers of people diagnosed with whatever variant of diabetes are woefully ignorant, unwilling to address their issues and possibly see education as an opportunity to stick fingers in ears whilst singing lalalala, I can’t hear you. Then there are those who choose to do their utmost to educate self and take responsibility. So...the outcome is we - the “patients” are a very mixed bag (no insult intended!). I could wish that we are regarded as discrete individuals and our care titrated to that but...GPs are busy, their work is a business and thus we are often seen as a homogenous whole. Therefore the reality is that the collective experience within sites such as this become increasingly important, certainly for those who choose to take their health seriously. I used to tell those for whom I cared, ‘you are the guardian of your health, don’t allow any of us to scr3w you over’. [/QUOTE]
