Hi Antje, Since my sensor-alarm 'for low' is inside my pump (I do not have another tool to read glucose curves or set an alarm), I can only change the alarm to a higher level by also adjusting the reference number on which the hypo/basal-stop is activated. Unfortunately, I can't make the alarm...

Hi Antje, Beautiful previous work place (I see you are a true Dutchie indeed ;))!! Your former work place would indeed actually have been a very difficult one for me, I guess ;), (although it looks nice.. out in the open air!). On the other hand, I am also someone who doesn’t give up easily...

Thanks all for giving feedback! Hi Loopercat and Jollymoon, I guess I might have more heavy symptoms of a hypo than you have, because a normal hypos takes about 30 minutes with a spike downwards in the middle before I recover and can function normally (in the sense of continuing on executing...

Hi Antje, Indeed, I am a Dutchie as well :). Thanks for your warm welcome! I actually already have a CGM sensor and even the Minimed 640 G with a basal-stop when my blood sugar drops, but unfortunately I still have low blood glucose levels that go along with neurological malfunctioning. ...

Hi everyone, I am curious how you all deal with hypo’s or hypers at the working place and in particular how you communicate them to your colleagues (while you’re in a hypo/low blood sugar)? Below I will first provide a small list of the symptoms I experience in case of a hypo/low blood sugar...
