Sorry, but he was a stubborn old fool and I hope they throw the book at him. Diabetics lived for years without apps and real-time monitoring. Hell, even us non-diabetics know what low BG feels like, my diabetic dad went for years without a monitor just by feel. Hasnt stopped his lawyers from trying to get him off describing this as nothing more than a medical episode. But at what point do you hold him responsible? He ignored *nine* alerts. |

Sorry to be blunt, but no you don't.

I guess my intent with the post was to say the sensor can be used against you in a case like this. In this case, he is quite rightfully screwed. I've had Diabetes since 1992. The stuff that I had to use to manage my diabetes is a world away from what is used today. My parents had to pin me to the bed to give me injections from nasty syringes, no pretty pens with tiny little needle tips, huge lances to draw blood from, glucose meters that were the size of a brick and took ages to deliver a result. It's now 2024 and I have only been on a glucose sensor for two years now, and I still refuse to have a pump. So, I know what it takes to manage the condition with or without modern tech. Quote:
Personally, I decent level hypo for me can be quite a nasty feeling - - Elevated heartbeat - Lethargy - Sweating - Shortness of breath - Pins and needles in my extremities - Blurring vision (black lines in extreme cases) - Loss of coherence (extreme cases) I've been close to lights out a couple of times as well. Quite often, all of the above then leads to fatigue, headaches and exhaustion later on.

Racing pulse, cold sweats/clammy hands, pale skin, tremors in hands. I used to get these episodes when I was younger and underweight after major physical activity. Then when I got older and overweight, it would happen after having a softdrink on an empty stomach - 5-10min later, hands get clammy, hands shake, heartrate goes up. Stops happening altogether when I lose weight.
My dad refuses to go on a pump, but he manages his sugar pretty poorly. Wildly overestimates how much sugar he needs to get himself back to a healthy range. So his BGL is chronically high, and he has eye issues now :/ |
