[QUOTE="BalTH, post: 923888, member: 202248"] Thanks for your support. I do attend the diabetic clinic 6 monthly but to be honest, although I don't suffer from hypos, I don't want to give anyone an excuse to suspend or take away my driving licence so I really don't talk to them in too much detail. I am also fed-up with the GP telling me that I'm not controlling my blood sugar levels and have to keep explaining that I am controlling them at the level I want them so as to avoid any hypos. I just don't think they get it as they want me to do everything by the 'book of normalness' which I think only applies to a limited number of people. I know higher levels probably add to my tiredness and it then becomes a bit of a viscous circle, i.e. I'm tired so can't be bothered, which means I don't apply the detailed focus that the condition requires, which means that my levels are higher than they should be. I also know that it the long term higher levels could result in internal organ function issues, but to be honest, apart from feeling tired and fed up with the condition, I generally live a normal life doing things my way, so why do I have to keep listening to so called experts. Today, is the first day for a very long time that I've realised I need to take some action, but I'd like to do that without involving many, if any, medical professionals. [/QUOTE]
