@philchap1 thank you you said the right thing when I needed it. A simple reminder about hypo awareness. Thank you again

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.
 

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.

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.
 
Thanks for the info, had to change my phone as it only works with mainly iPhones and Samsung galaxy the later has to be running on software 7.0 nougat, can you link it to Google home hub ?
 
Good morning all on this wet and blustery day. At least its a bit warmer. fbs 7.9 this morning. Off to do our voluntary work later. Well done everyone on keeping your levels below 7. Stay dry and safe whatever you are doing today.
 
Morning everyone I had a very busy but very good day yesterday first my mum and I went to pick up my aunt at her house and we all went to new look my mum found a nice dress and I got two jumpers as Christmas presents (we always get a Christmas Day and a Boxing Day outfit) after that we went to see my nanny she was ok but very confused due to her dementia afterwards my mum my aunt and I went to the shopping centre as my aunt wanted to look in primark after primark we went and got a bit of lunch in Costa (my mum and aunt shared a turkey wrap and I had tomato and basil soup) then we went into Asda to get some stuff for the dinner then we went home and had our dinner finally at six o clock we went out to get the Christmas Eve pyjamas blood sugars were 5.8 yesterday and 4.8 today have a good day everyone
 
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.

very windy here in london..off to docs in a bit for a check up..

best wishes for a good day, all
