Welcome to the forum @GavinL. That is quite story! I had my own adventure in December 2005, after feeling ill for a month I collapsed after a shift and woke in the emergency admittance ward. I had a heart attack, my bp was 265/130, and my glucose levels were off the scale on the glucose meter. I...

Hi @theoldfunker. I don't like summer, it really messes with my bgl's! I dehydrate rapidly and become lethargic and irritable.

Thank God it turned out well.

It will catch you out at every turn. Nothing more embarrassing than wandering off to La La Land in mid sentence!

I can see the funny side in that. I have been in similar situations where I was desparate for glucose or fluids.

In public I use an alcohol wipe, but when no one is there to witness....

Welcome to the forum @Bulmanboi. As far as I can tell, floaters are not a big problem, but it is a good idea to get a check up to be sure.

Now I lay me down to sleep, my wretched meter starts to beep. Hypers/hypos you can keep, Oh how I hate the night!

Be careful, you might get SOLE-manella!

OUCH!!

I agree, sometime prior to being diagnosed, I turned up a level of 13.6. I was tested by a friend who was t2, and she warned me to get tested asap! I ignored the warning, then woke up in hospital 2 months later. FOOL!!
