🤣 you’ve got a yeller, too?? Hey, you know what’s even more annoying than a sluggish, lagging guardian sensor? A nagging mom who’s pushing food in front of your face and basing her anxiety ON THE SOUND OF THE ALARM COMING FROM THAT VERy SENSOR. Me, wisely: “Mom, I don’t need that. I’m already rising. My sensor just sucks.” Mom, desperately: “why won’t you just _eat_? Please? For me?” 🙄🙇‍♀️😬🤨🤦‍♀️ ---

@Nickyghaleb Nicky, the difference is that my wife is right about 99.9% of the time. I stopped counting the times she has saved my life. I think if she had diabetes she would flat line at 100 24/7. I married wisely. ---

I’m gonna have either hook my mom up to a more accurate sensor or with your wife. 🙂 ---

@MM2 I’m guessing this was you just flaunting poll skills, too… Wait. No… I actually think you were attempting to help. 😁 so scratch my vote… it has no meaning. 😁 ---

My husband is known for calling out “told you” when he’s lurking at testing, qualifying him for neither _patient_ nor _helpful_… and only _funny_ when he was wrong. ---
