Hypo fears
Hi
Just joined the group. I have severe fear of hypos to the extent that I have a HbA1c of 10.7 despite being on a pump.
It affects my life on a day to day basis and U have tried CBT, EMDR and hypnosis to no effect. I don;t want to take meds. Any ideas?

Hello Dee,
I recommend that you start by using a continuous glucose monitor, with alarms triggered for the approximation of high and low. so give yourself some space.
if no result, an appointment with a psychiatrist who can evaluate possible paths.
I hope I have been helpful
good luck
