Message: <blockquote data-quote="catapillar" data-source="post: 1596265" data-attributes="member: 32394">I basically diagnosed myself (there was the symptoms, Google and my nan's blood sugar monitor) so my first thought was that I probably should go to hospital... and maybe I should pack a bag in case they keep me in. But they just had a half hearted attempt at killing me (40 units of actrapid and sent home less than an hour later with no means of testing blood sugar, no insulin, no advice not to drive, no advice on what a hypo was or how to treat it and only told not to eat sugar while waiting to see the endo in the week) but it was early Saturday afternoon and there was a home game on do it probably wouldn't have been terribly pleasant to have been admitted.And then at the actual endo diagnosis appointment (the Wednesday after, after having what was probably a false hypo on the Saturday night and luckily ignoring the no sugar instruction I pretty much slept until I saw the endo, and my ex nurse mother was sensible enough to confiscate the car keys) and the DSN appointment afterwards my main though was "oh the needles don't hurt" after the DSN basically used my mum as a dartboard to demonstrate tha the needles really don't hurt.</blockquote>
