I remember always seeing these tin openers in my grandparents kitchen drawers, but they were never used. I think they kept them as an emergency backup incase the then modern turny one stopped working! I never saw it used in anger and I held anybody who knew how to operate it in high regard. It's...

According to go-ogle: It was decided an end number would be best as it would be easier to find by touch in the dark or smoke. 111 was rejected as it could be triggered by faulty equipment or lines rubbing together, and mimicked by tapping the cradle creating the pulse tone. 000 could not be...

Hi, I've been T1 for about 22 years, and my GP and nurse kept telling me I had excellent control based on my HBa1C, what they weren't noticing was my bouncing from low to high which ended in me having a hypo a year ago, that pulled the rug from under me! I feel terrified at those memories and...

Thanks all, I've joined the FB group. I'll probably just ignore the update as it's all working okay at the moment. When I'm in the mood I might follow Searley's advice (thanks), I find all the inner workings on xdrip a little overwhelming and I know just about enough to make it work with alerts...

Thanks for replies, I'll install Facebook and take a look.

Hi, Just had this notification pop up, in the year I've been using XDrip I've not had anything like this appear. (I'm not very tech savvy) should I update? I'm using a Samsung galaxy s8, Libre 1 with miao miao 2. Hopeful that someone can advise? Cheers

Counting back from 5, great suggestion. I have to do that when I'm doing Lateral Flow Test tonsil zone!

Can you approach it as a trade off of some sort? The insertion of one 5mm filament against additional finger prick tests? (I still finger prick test, but no where near as much as I used to). And you will get all that valuable information... I like the idea of creating a relaxing environment and...

My DN was pleased with my recent HBa1C, but immediately followed with 'how many hypos are you having though?' I can't fool them! Totally agree with what you say about needing 3rd Party medical assistance to treat a hypo, that is one of the benchmarks for the DVLA isn't it? If I have a BS of...

I also struggle to be able to answer this, I personally class myself as hypo when I'm experiencing symptoms of a hypo. All other times that my blood sugar begins to drop and I take action to avert going hypo I'm not necessarily having a "hypo", but my blood sugar is on the lower end of the...

Hi, So on Sunday my 8 yo son had a positive LFT. My wife, 11 yo daughter and myself all negative LFT. We had PCR test the next day and within 24 hours this was all confirmed. He has been absolutely fine and well. During a phone conversation with the track and trace people, they asked about...

Is it a diabetes thing to make sure you don't run out of essentials?

I try to stick it all in my pockets! Biggest item is the bag of jelly babies, (it depends on what I'm doing whether or not I take finger prick gear). Phone is a must as I've got a Libre. My insulin pen cool pouch can hold a couple of spare needles, spare cartridge if needed and my Tresiba pen...

Should have said this previously: The last Dr Who post? A selection of my Daleks, my favorites are the red and silver that were mine and my brothers, I still have the original boxes! They are also made by Palitoy and have a plastic record inside that plays an order when THE BUTTON ON TOP IS...

The last Dr Who post? A selection of my Daleks, my favorites are the red and silver that were mine and my brothers, I still have the original boxes! They are also made by Palitoy and have a plastic record inside that plays an order when that a full size Dalek for my 50th would be a good...

Forgot to add this.

Yeah, me to! [emoji23] I know they have other stuff in them that may not be good for me, but it's the lesser of many evils for me! As you can see, I don't want to run out, and this is my stash in the garage.

Sometimes I dream of lighting up! I thought I was the only one? 12 years ago I gave up after smoking for 20ish years when our daughter was born, I then used lozenges, but got hooked on them! I am now totally nicotine free. I have only had moments of weakness in my dreams! Having said that I do...

And here is K9, made by Palitoy ('78?) Again all my original toys were passed down, so this beauty came to me about 10 years ago. And he talks! There is a small plastic record in his inards that plays different commands. And if you turn the record over, you get another set of commands.

So, here is my Denys Fisher TARDIS, from the 70s. The one I owned was handed down to my cousins:( and I acquired this one on ebay I also still had the Tom Baker figure from my childhood that you place inside, turn the spinner and he disappears. I honestly thought he went back to the factory...
