I can remember, I think, going out on a Friday night for years downing 8 pints of beer then going for a Indian On the plus side i am still here, god knows how. How i survived without having blood test strips, i have no idea. I never go anywhere now without my BG meter or now my Libre. i am pretty much reliant on it as guide. I have this mindset at times, when i can convince myself i have a low BG, no matter how high this may be. I do a lot of walking to very remote places where i dont see anyone for hours.
