[QUOTE="SilverAndEbony, post: 44807, member: 7578"] This is going to sound flippant. It's half flippant, but I do seriously mean it too! Get a hypo-alert dog! I don't know the real name, but a dog that is trained to warn you when you are getting hypo. I don't know much about it at all - I've only read about seizure alert dogs in the past. As a joke I suggested my Mum (T2) get a dog and train it up because she's not too good about stopping gardening, for eg, when she knows she needs a drink and something to eat. She's a 'I'll weed up to that plant before I finish' sort of person. Pain is good or something! She won't stop, even when she feels wobbly, or it starts to rain! She'll even do the washing up before she has a drink or snack because that's what she'd decided to do before she started gardening. But would she take the hint when a dog told her? Who knows! ps - it didn't help when she was prescribed too much metformin, which she recognised by testing. But didn't want to pester the doctor! 77 year old ladies don't seem to want to complain, do they? I'm turning into a long-distance diabetes monitor! [/QUOTE]
