I've lost mine after 51 years of type 1 because of the length of time and good control (you can't win lol) have tried running it higher but my consultant said I won't get it back , I've had to retire from work early and stop driving but I'm still in one piece, every cloud has a silver lining.

I've been welcomed back into the 5's club this morning as well. 5.3.

Good to see you here @OrsonKartt I expect I’ll be out the door again tomorrow but enjoying being here today.

Good morning all,

Blood sugars were 4.8 today.

Morning All. 5.6 at 0800. Good to see a 5 again. What a stormy night. Woke at 3 then drifted in and out of sleep after that worrying about my OH long drive home this evening and son getting plane from Dublin.
Stay well, safe and if possible hypo free everyone.

Yes I used to worry a lot when my son was flying back to the UK from Dublin so I would track his flight on line till it landed safely in the UK.

5.8 today, first day on the Dexcom G6 lowest was 4.7 highest 6.8; really impressed with the accuracy, stay safe everyone.

Congrats on getting the G6 very good piece of equipement hope it will help you a lot.
One thing I like about the G6 is you can link it to an Amazon Echo or other Alexa enabled device and then be able to ask it to tell you what your BG level is and if the device has a screen get graphs and the like.But then I'm into gadgets.

7.9 this morning, but taken after a cup of black coffee, so not sure how indicative it is. All the same relieved to be back under 8. New strips on order, maybe they have some lower numbers stored on them

after reading all yours, mines a rather boring 6.5 this morning...late to bed, and a naughty bit of toast late on last night to blame.

No Karen, I fitted the criteria with my lack of hypo awareness , it's as accurate as my BGM, it will make a big difference.

Prob better than libre x

 

[Cumberland]

3.9 first thing up in the 6’s now

Have a good day

 

[Cumberland]

Hello friends
Grateful thanks to you for your well wishes for cataract op

Wow what a difference

No more looking like a foggy (frosted glass) view

I’m on the list for my other eye (which is reasonably ok still)

Thanks once again friends

 

[neithskye]

5.6. Very pleased with that as the only thing I ate yesterday was an entire bag of cheese puffs.

Also got taken off Sitagliptin yesterday. Got taken off Jardiance in October. Now only on straight Metformin.

what is the criteria phil if you dont mind me asking

 

[philchap1]

The g6 has high and low alarms which hopefully will be a godsend for me , no alarm on the libre at the moment but I think the next model will.x

 

[philchap1]

what is the criteria phil if you dont mind me asking

I have no hypo awareness so it's seeming normal one minute to unconscious the next, lost it due to good control and my consultant says it won't return because of the length of type 1 and good control ( you can't win lol) not sure what else is in the criteria.
