I need crutches to walk so don’t have a spare hand for carrying anything else!

Thank you! It’s working too well now with double downwards arrows 😬
It would be great if there was a way to know what’s causing high glucose without having to be a detective🕵️

Come on insulin pump cannula No 3 please get on with it! Let’s have a downward arrow.
Days chasing down high glucose from 2 failed cannulas are exasperating 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yes! In the 70’s & 80’s I was told to treat a hypo with a small chocolate bar 🤷🏻‍♀️ then have follow up carbs such as a sandwich Different times indeed!

Beautiful 🤩 🌅

Diagnosed ‘78, had test tube & pipette before urine strips. I bought my first meter in about 1991, had some awful hypos back then and had lost my hypo awareness by the early 90’s. Those early years were rough & like you I’m sure they contributed to my loss of awareness.

Same here Jimmy, I was either hypo or I wasn’t and that was it, no instant way to find out what was going on 😬
Pretty alarming looking back to pre glucose testing days compared to 24/7 data today.
