They're great! I have one but since childhood I had a big case of rebelious evasion stage... even nowadays it still carries on via habit and potentially subconcious 'fear' of knowing sugar might be high... and then not wanting to check it. (or maybe just call me being a wimp towards it lol! ) Mine does show results for past 8 hours but it doesn't give me alerts how high my blood sugar is etc.Yes, hope so Si. My sister has got one of those things that Bluetooths to her phone and gives her continuous monitoring and alerts. Not sure which, I think it is the Abbot one, Libre. She was diagnosed in the mid 70s and we never dreamed of stuff like that then. Still sucks big time but these gadgets do seem to make control easier.
A landline? How quaint.Just give them a landline number surely
A landline? How quaint.
We haven't had one of those since my cack-handed, idiot brother came home from the pub late one night and dropped it on our kitchen floor. He had been on the beer for most of the evening, which may well have contributed greatly to this unfortunate accident. Our kitchen floor is tiled, so it didn't exactly do our phone a lot of good, as you can probably guess.
We've been reluctant to get another phone, just in case it happens again. So now, my brother is the only one of us who has a mobile phone, and therefore the only one who can still make and receive phone calls. It's not too difficult to appreciate the irony of that...
My GP surgery doesn't do appointments by email. They always ask for my phone number, even though I have told them numerous times that I don't have one. It seems as though people are left high and dry if they don't own a mobile phone or a landline. It seems as though most GPs try to avoid face to face appointments now, so God knows what I would do if I needed a face to face appointment. I would have almost zero chance of getting one.
I don't need a piss at the moment, thank you very much, but it's very kind of you to take such an interest in my daily ablutions...Have a piss and moan at CQC?
I can understand that some people don't want a mobile phone. The impact of this is normally negated by a landline. It sounds like you've purposely chosen to isolate yourself by having neither and are now frustrated at the result.My GP surgery doesn't do appointments by email.

I did not choose to isolate myself at all. The fact that I no longer have a working landline is down to my piss-head brother, not myself or anyone else. I did not break the bloody phone on purpose, so your claim that I have, supposedly, put myself in this position is nonsense. The phone was broken in an accident, not deliberately. If my brother had not had a skinful when he came home that night, then it probably wouldn't even have happened.I can understand that some people don't want a mobile phone.

I am not miserable, and you don't even know me, so how can you possibly know this? I also go out often and I am a relatively sociable and friendly person when I do go out, so I am not a hermit, either. You base your opinion of me purely on what I post on here, but that is hardly an accurate impression of my personality.I Agreed, Im sure on a quack forum someone is moaning about a miserable old hermit they can’t contact
£15 for a new landline??? Please tell me where I can get one as cheaply as that. The ones that I have seen are at least double that amount (some even more). I don't shop in Aldi or Lidl. If I paid such a suspiciously low amount for a new handset, I would fully expect it to pack up within six months. You get what you pay for.A landline is quaint? You have NO TELEPHONE!
A landline could be thought of as quaint, but I struggle to comprehend someone considering it to be that whilst declaring that they have no telephone at all. You don't want to spend, say, £15 on a new landline handset in case your brother gets drunk and breaks it. That might be quaint.
