Well, that doesn’t make me feel any better…  
🤔

Anyway, @LarissaW, if you choose to watch the video—and remember you can never get those minutes of your life back again—I show Eric’s meter bracelet. I use that thing on every single one of my outdoor runs and probably 30% of my indoor. I would not be able to test my BG on a run without it… or at least would not be willing to. It keeps everything available without my having to carry anything, and then I just tuck my old test strips and lancets into a regular wrist band I wear on the other wrist. If I’m going on very long runs, I’ll take a second test strip holder that Eric sent and wear it on my spibelt. It gives me 20 strips. I no longer even look at my sensor… not even a glance. There is absolutely no point in doing so.
