Mine just follows me around the bed!

I agree with noble head. I use the fastclix too, it's definitely the best one I!ve used. I test quite a lot as I am on an insulin pump and also don,t have brilliant hypo awareness!

The Plague dogs-based on a book by I think, Richard Adams. I was pregnant at the time and ended up hysterical I was so upset!! Black Beauty, Schindlers List, Ghost, virtually all of the Disney movies and many more....

I'm on a pump and my status days "Diet only". I've changed it umpteen times and it still keeps reverting back to diet. I have tried again just now after reading your post but I'm not holding my breath that it will stay correct :(

Mine just came in the post.

I got mine last year. My consultant contacted DUK and I received it about 2 weeks after my clinic appointment. My next goal is to get the 75 year one. :)
