[QUOTE="Shar67, post: 1072090"] Once when I was in hospital for panc issue, before becoming diabetic my BG was always around about 5, the usual testing every hour, BP, Sats etc and BG test. Half a sleep I stuck my hand out for testing to be done. BG 3.8. Nurse freaked out, your hypo where are your sweets, what do you treat your hypos with, me I'm not diabetic, I haven't eaten today, I will be fine when I have breakfast, no, she brought me a sugary tea and Bourbon biscuits, stood over me while I ate them, which took ages as I wasn't hungry, don't drink tea and if I did it wouldnt have sugar in it. On the morning hand over she said I had a treated hypo, nurse taking over said but she isn't diabetic. She couldn't get her head round why I had to have BG tests done (we knew it would happen due to panc damage) It was over a year later I became diabetic, with a hyper. [/QUOTE]
