[QUOTE="isjoberg, post: 1789721, member: 72864"] I used to travel loads for work - new city every two weeks so didn't have a chance to cultivate good relationships with neighbours! I wasn't too worried about hypos as I always had hypo treatment nearby and all over the flat/hotel room wherever I was living. I've always been really open about my diabetes so once work panicked because they hadn't seen me for our usual 4pm meeting and my phone was off.. Turns out they'd forgotten I was starting laster that day and the chill of Glasgow had killed my phone battery! Last week I had quite a bad hypo, I remember sitting at my kitchen table being worried about something, but once I figured out that my thoughts weren't making sense I went straight to the fridge to chug a litre of juice. Thankfully I have good hypo and hyper awareness so living alone has never been too much of a concern for me, it's just making sure you've planned for when things might not go according to plan, and not being afraid to ask for help if there is a problem! Have just moved into a new block of flats, we have a house whatsapp and everyone who lives there has been told I am diabetic on the off chance that something strange does happen, but thankfully have never had to ask them.
