[QUOTE="Ballofwool, post: 961151, member: 186617"] I think you are probably right that I will have to comply. My only other option is leaving, and that won't get me access to any sort of help! This morning I was at 4.9 mmol at 8.30. I then ate beans on toast at 9.00AM and had a blood glucose reading of 3.6 at 9.30AM. As I suspected, it is sometimes dropping almost immediately after eating. When I sit down it can recover spontaneously, in as little as 10 minutes. However, sometimes it continues to drop instead. If I pace up and down my room when hypo I find it hard to stay conscious, but after a few minutes my adrenaline kicks in. I suddenly feel anxious, my heart goes mad, and then when re-tested my blood sugar will be back above 5 mmol! I have managed to convince them to give me a continuous glucose drip overnight because that has been enough to prevent hypos in the past few days when I wasn't supposed to be eating. I am supposed to be seeing my "team" tomorrow (although they're just some random surgeons), so hopefully that will provide a new game plan. It's not really safe to keep me on this high carb diet and continuously provoke hypos and rapid blood sugar swings all the time! I will begin to collapse whenever I stand up if it's soon after eating. Usually I manage to sit down or fall down in a controlled way, but often my mum has been holding me up while I walk around in my hospital room. [/QUOTE]
