Hi
I have always had trouble with night time hypo's ,erratic BS's on a night. Great during the day when I can control them but due to hormone changes ect being a woman :roll: nighttimes can go through phases of being a right pain in the neck....literally ,if I have had a fit
Anyway I bought one of them Hypo alarm watches :? To be honest I have had it for 3 weeks now and the jury is still out as far as I am concerned. I started out with high hopes and to be honest it did have a placebo effect in that I slept a lot more soundly in that I thought I had a chance of waking up if the hypo fairy came to visit.
Well I had a number of alarms going off, and sprung enthusiastically into action ,thinking my saviour had arrived.....only to find when I tested they were 8.2 or 6.9 :shock:
I know I have turned it off a few times in my sleep without testing :roll: just with being knackered.
I have had two conscious hypo's ,well lows of 3.2 when I have woken up and not a muff out of it.
So this morning I lay there a while with a BS of 3.4 to see when it would kick into life. I got more and more panicky waves... still no buzz...in the end I thought stuff this for a game of soldiers wet my finger and stuck it onto the sensors and the swine sang like a bird :evil: No blooming good when you are asleep.
It works on the principal that the sensors pick up a subtle drop in temperature, yeh, when you take it off and leave it in a cold room for five :lol: :roll: and also it picks up on sweat, I was sweating like a sow on heat this morning, still no buzz. I might try it around my ankle but thought that might be too warm and clammy at times under the covers.
Phew sorry for ramble.....Has anyone else tried one of these with any success????
Is it me thats done something wrong?? Or the fact I'm a tight wad and bought the cheapest on the market! :lol:
Mine is the n SA3 Biosensor for what it's worth, anyone else had one of these? Don't tell me it's in the bin now :lol:
