@philchap1 thank you you said the right thing when I needed it. A simple reminder about hypo awareness. Thank you again

I've lost mine after 51 years of type 1 because of the length of time and good control (you can't win lol) have tried running it higher but my consultant said I won't get it back , I've had to retire from work early and stop driving but I'm still in one piece, every cloud has a silver lining.

Yes I used to worry a lot when my son was flying back to the UK from Dublin so I would track his flight on line till it landed safely in the UK.

Congrats on getting the G6 very good piece of equipement hope it will help you a lot.
One thing I like about the G6 is you can link it to an Amazon Echo or other Alexa enabled device and then be able to ask it to tell you what your BG level is and if the device has a screen get graphs and the like.But then I'm into gadgets.

7.9 this morning, but taken after a cup of black coffee, so not sure how indicative it is. All the same relieved to be back under 8. New strips on order, maybe they have some lower numbers stored on them

The g6 has high and low alarms which hopefully will be a godsend for me , no alarm on the libre at the moment but I think the next model will.x

I have no hypo awareness so it's seeming normal one minute to unconscious the next, lost it due to good control and my consultant says it won't return because of the length of type 1 and good control ( you can't win lol) not sure what else is in the criteria.
