Hi all

I am 55 and have been a type 1 diabetic since I was 9

Over the years I have had few issues with low blood sugar where I was not fully aware of what I was doing which can be a bit dangerous on the road and on the boat and I was referred to a diabetic specialist who suggested one of these www.medtronic-diabetes.com.au/products/guardian-connect would be a good idea foe me to have

It takes a reading every 5 minutes and bluetooths it to a app on my phone and displays my current reading and has a low and high warning leavel where it will alert me if my blood sugar level is dropping to a dangerous level as well as the ability to send a sms to 5 other mobiles advising them of this and also sending data to a website where my doctor can review it

I have had it for a week now and it is not cheap a $9 a day but in my opinion the advantages far outweighs the cost as I can monitor my sugar evel and keep it safely lower without the risk of having it go too low to avoid complications in the future such as blindness and feet being amputated etc due to too high blood sugar
