And if you aren't home at that time?

I think the devices are nice, but like other have said, if you are unconscious, which is the major problem one would have in a diabetic emergency, then what good is a device for you to push a buttom and call for help.

I think I'd work on getting those numbers under 150 before I'd even be thinking of having one.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
