[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 1789290, member: 372207"] It was a bit worse, I actually had two different great neighbours that night. The first sat with me for three hours until I felt I was safe. The second I woke up at four in the morning because my sugars kept dropping after I went home from the first neighbour and I was advised to pop into A+E to be safe. First neighbour had been drinking, hence the waking up of second neighbour. He sat with me in A+E, where they checked my sugars twice in three hours (don't worry, I checked more often and instructed my patient neighbour in what to do should I become unconscious, seemed much more reliable than the people who worked there) and then sent us home. The moral of this story: I'm fine living alone as long as I don't mix up my insulins, and should I do so again I'll just pop over to one of my neighbours, armed with a glucagon set and play board games or so until I'm safe. And bring them a bottle of whatever they fancy next day. [/QUOTE]
