Thanks Joe, for that comprehensive and iinformative post! I'm single too, and have had a couple of scary hypos - one of which nearly 'floored' me, but I retained sufficient sense to go to my neighbour for help. I do know what you mean about lack of urgency - this often happens when I am going low. I once got down to 1.9 even though I knew I was falling because I wanted to finish a form I was filling in before treating it. My writing was all over the place and I still didn't act!😱
 
I have looked into a medi tag last night and i think i have found the one i want i will look into ordering that I always worry for instance when i go away in august that because im away from my local hosi and my local GP that i might panic if something goes wrong , my immediate family know im diabetic but it dont mean everyone else will , I will put a piccie up when i get it , watch this space LOL x

Hi,
They also don't go looking at "pretty" or "subtle" jewellery - they don't have the time to justify this - so they said make it big and bold so it can be seen.

Bloomin' 'eck Joe, you ain't taking no chances! It must be a real worry living alone.

Boo hoo - I've got one of the 'prettier' ones, altho' I've also got a bold, sporty one. also got 'diabetes' on my mobile under ICE (in case of emergency). Was going to put a medicalert sticker into my key fob too.

Know what you mean Northe - lowest I've been is 2.9, but I kept putting off testing because I was trying to finish some work on computer. Severly reprimanded myself ( not quite as severe as a house elf)! 😱
 
I just got myself an SOS Talisman. Its pretty cool, and very obvious a medi tag. 🙂
 
Good points Joe,

Although they may not inspect every item of jewellry, they are also not blind! So anything is better than nothing even if it is subtle.
