Doc asked me if I had any hypo symptoms to which I replied in the negative. Either they don't think so or....idk. Does seems a bit cavalier. Am investigating the possibility of a Freestyle subsidised by the Govt, since that was suggested earlier.

....because it didn’t have an antenna

The Samsung Galaxy 4 or Active 3 is purported to have an IR sensor type measuring device for BG. Likewise the next Apple offering (7 I think). Neither released yet but might be before June for the Samsung. Even if it’s only 75% as accurate as a cgm type unit, I’m in like Flynn. Honestly I’ve...
