What an unthinking person. I'm sure he will be fine, all the mums I have ever known have hada sixth sense when something is wrong. My son is not diabetic and even now when he is unwell during the night I still HAVE to get up to make sure he is alright, and I am certain you are the same with Graham.

He should of kept quiet, did he die from low blood sugars realley though? It could of been something else.

I am worrying now,

How insensitive of your work college. You dont need that.

Its hard to reassure you. Sometimes I worry about the same thing and me. And yes, there are instances of people who can die from an untreated hypo or DKA. But I think about my last job in a busy A&E department in London that saw hundreds of thousands of people a year, I worked there for 5 years and didnt see it ONCE. Thats good odds, surely?? 😉

Unfortunately, someone always knows someone who knows someone etc etc....

My friend's daughter aged 12 nearly 3 years ago, early hours, day before her 13 th birthday ....... it is a reality, it is rare but it happens.

If a doc or nurse ever says to me you do not have to test at night, I will ask them for 100 % guarantee that my daughter will not hypo overnight. They cannot give that and until they do, I test.

Daniela, that person should never have said that to you. How cruel. We are not stupid, we know what can happen, how dare that person.
