Hoping to see him in Cardiff in April, he’s hilarious. Planning to meet up with a few of my online T1 buddies for it :)

Very funny. Not sure he’d go down to well with some on this forum though.

Ed Gamble is quality - would like to see one of his shows one day when he's touring.

I saw Ed Gamble on tv a couple of nights ago, he was funny and I enjoyed watching him, some people thought his BG meter was a mobile phone and as he said...........'testing blood on it ' !!!!!! :hilarious:
There is indeed an attachment that converts a smartphone into a bgl meter Feed it strips like any other regular glucometer, Don't know how reliable it is but it is new on the market, Seek under tradename MyDario

Type II "doesn't count when you do it to yourself". Yep he's a comedian alright, AKA a wind up merchant. Still funny though. Amusing from somebody who lost 6 stone in 2 years. Or said a different way, somebody who was 6 stone heavier.

He was on for about 10 minutes I think, but only saw some of it, he did make me smile :)

Never heard of MyDario. All I want my phone to do is, phone people, text and whatsapp, that's it. I have a second hand Samsung Galaxy S 111 mini, my daughter thinks it is so old :rolleyes:

True, but I decided to interpret that bit as sarcasm, because no diabetic can say that about other diabetics and really mean it, right?
Anyway, I dare you to watch the first bits of Ricky Gervais' show Science. I haven't really enjoyed him since.

Whatsapp is handy and it is free, except trying to call someone as the reception is so poor. Then some star emoji's appear at the bottom after the call asking you to rate the call, all I have used is the number 1 :rolleyes:

I think as a fellow Nokia user, I can say that it will not run this App, nor will it work with MyDario either, Us steam radio dinosaurs will need to upgrade if we want these benefits.
