[QUOTE="Ashley13, post: 1556815, member: 311676"] I used to get anxious of doing things alone, I.e. Going to the shops, out for a walk/run etc. I had an irrational fear that my blood glucose would go low and I wouldn't realise and I might pass out in public. The fear was irrational because this situation has never happened before, and whilst awake I always get hypo symptoms. I suppose it was maybe more fear of the unknown, and the fact that I wouldn't test in a public place where I could be seen. I do now have a Dexcom which has completely eradicated that fear, and it means I can conspicuously check my glucose levels whilst in public [emoji4] [/QUOTE]
