[QUOTE="kev-w, post: 1789549, member: 452484"] I've had some tangles as a singleton, but no real 'bad' ones since test strips became freely available, sleepers usually wake me in a pool of sweat but I've Glucogel & glucotabs to hand, as a single dad my eldest (8 at the time) rang an ambulance when she couldn't wake me one morning, but fed me a tube of sherbet while we waited for it but couldn't understand why she struggled to get it in my mouth :/ In the late 80s I can remember my dad taking a sledgehammer to my flat door to let the ambulance people in, I'd disappeared and he'd come looking, put a ladder up to the window and seen me on my back on the bedroom floor [S]minus my clothes :p[/S] but for me the older insulins caused more problems than those I've got today and before glucose meters. modern management works well, if finger pricking >8x you have a reasonable spread of data indicating what's happening, don't go to bed with active bolus, if 'hypo prone' read up on what Scott-C uses with his Libre as an alarm (if your CCG is funding them). [USER=374531]@Scott-C[/USER], I can't find a Swedish au-pair on my local CCG formulary at all, maybe an individual funding request is required until they commission them :p [/QUOTE]
