[QUOTE="Engineer88, post: 385116, member: 70171"] Hi michaeldavid, Ok you may have caught me on a bad morning also, bloods of 22. I wanted to punch things/people. Before we get to trying to 'fix' me let me tell you a bit more about me: I’m coeliac and hypo thyroid. Basically my auto immune is about shot. I’ve also recently realised I can’t handle much dairy, including a standard yogurt, so I'm lactose free as well. As great as rye bread sounds I defiantly can’t eat it but thanks for putting it in :) I’m lucky in that I don’t have the catastrophic hypos anymore (touch wood!) since my gut has healed being gluten free. The reason I'm looking at a CGM system is to reduce finger pricks even if only slightly. I do between 6-15 maybe a day. The problem I'm having is my fingers aren't healing fast enough and my hands are stupidly small (think child’s hands). So when I go to pick up that cylinder head at work I find the holes are opening up and I’m bleeding at inappropriate moments. I hope to combine this with a pump eventually as it might reduce overnight hypos which is where mine mainly are. I agree there are idiots everywhere, I just hope I'm not one of them! You kind pushed a major button for me there with the engineering thing don’t know if you noticed :thumbup: What do you reckon then? other than putting me out of my misery!! :P [/QUOTE]
