Todays the first day in around a year that I have forgotten to take my metre to work. This means no after breakkie bg test, No lunch bg test, the next I can do will be after lunch bg test.

This will be a real test of what ive leart about my body in a year, and have I learnt how I feel when Im low, high or in control.

The main thing i have learnt is that the feelings overlap, that sometimes I can have low symtoms and be high and vicea versa,.

We shall see when I get home!
 
Good luck Benny. I would suggest you have a snack before driving home, however you feel (if you are driving), just to be on the safe side 🙂
 
I would probably panic if I did that. Lucky my work is 5 minute drive away. Hope you got on ok
 
Keep it down your pink pants then it will never be forgotten 😉
 
I have the same problem sometimes, so i have a spare meter in
The car
My works van
By my bed side
and 1 on stand by
Plus my combo meter thats linked with my pump
I'm well covered, pluss i have hypo treatment in all thoses places as well.
 
Hope your day went OK Benny!
