[QUOTE="Martin153, post: 715247, member: 140867"] Hi all. I've been type1 for nearly 31 years. The one thing that would improve things is to know what my blood sugar levels are at any time. I sound bad here, but it bugs me that after 31 years almost nothing has changed. Pricking my **** finger & put a drop of blood on a stick. Same 31 years ago, electronic meter today, no benefit really unless you have poor eyesight. Well I've been getting hypos at night & had a seizure a few weeks ago. For the moment I'm now setting my alarm at 2 am to test. Just can't let this happen again as my back is still aching now! Plus if it happens twice in a 12 month period I lose my driving licence for 12 months. This has made me search the internet. I'm going to buy either a Dexcom G4 or Abbot Navigator 2 Cgm. These cost a lot (£950) but it seems a massive step forward. They have a sensor with a transmitter & a receiver that can alarm if sugar levels low or high (configurable). Also I've found the best possible solution I've ever seen, besides a cure. Look up Pancreum Genesis. It is a prototype artificial pancreas. It really does sound the business & the likes of Diabetes Uk should be poring most of its money in to this project. It's a blue tooth cgm with micro insulin pump & glucagon pump. If that was available now I'd sell my house to buy one :) [/QUOTE]
