I’m not a bright man and this is an honest question, are you a diabetic? If so that’s really interesting as my daughter is type one, I find that quite fascinating that you don’t get a fever and something for me to look out for.
Definitely something for me to watch for, I always test for ketones when I suspect my daughter is ill, I’ve actually never seen her have a fever. 97.7 wow! I remember when covid was at its worst here, we had messages from the hospital telling us to test frequently and adjust doses accordingly.
Same here, last years premium was £442, this year Hastings upped it to £992, they called it an insurance premium tax. This is on a 1.0 Ford Ka+. I used a comparison site and managed to get it to a little cheaper than last years quote.
When I called Hastings to make sure auto renewal didn’t go through they reckoned they could probably match last year’s quote, I refused and explained that I didn’t like they idea they were taking the piss so just cancel it.
Yeah 16 and if you’re in care you’re probably fucked. Lad I worked with hit 16 and was put in a house with some questionable individuals. 2 years later he’s in prison. Working as intended?
Two places in North Wales have been identified as being among the hardest places to live in Wales. And they are both in the Wrexham county area - Caia Park and Cefn Mawr....
I worked in Wrexham for about 12 months with children who’d been removed from their parents, the place is an absolute shit hole. The kids don’t stand a chance. Now bear in mind I was born in Wrexham and lived there for a short spell as a child. We would have to try and find the kids who’d absconded at night and running around Caia Park at 12am was absolutely scary as fuck.

This wouldn’t be the first time either. We’ve had more success with android and sensor readings than with apple. The Diabetic team at our local hospital have sent out 2 warnings that Libre could stop working with Apple when there has been a major update.
We’ve since moved to a pump which uses a ‘phone’ and this is android and it’s been absolutely life changing for my daughter.
Before my daughter was given the libre sensor she would just finger prick at regular intervals to see where her numbers were, there were no warnings or notifications if she was outside her ranges. We’ve been lucky that when she has a hypo she knows about it due to feeling ‘shaky’ but if she was hyper she wouldn’t know unless she did a finger prick.
The Diabetic team we have moved us away from Libre to a Dexcom G6 which has been great but as another poster has said does throw warnings out every now & again about Battery optimisation & Do not disturb settings.
Just over a month ago my daughter was given a pump made by Insulet and with that you are given an Android phone, that is used purely for controlling the pump and getting readings about her current numbers, it’s very locked down. Since she’s been using the pump her numbers have been absolutely fantastic, she’s very rarely outside of her ranges, not only does her new device beep to alert her that something needs attention but so does the actual pump.
