So, I’ve been talking about this thing since I got it Monday and decided that instead of trying to describe it in writing, I’d shoot a vlog post and show you. So, without further delay, I present My Heart’s Cell Phone. Enjoy!

Mike, that is AMAZING. I really cannot believe how far technology has come. . . and even better that it is available to keep you, and people who are dealing with similar circumstances, SAFE.
Wow, Mike. What an amazingly heartfelt and insightful post. Thank you so much for sharing this. I too am very impressed with the technology, particularly in the evolution in just the past three years. Had no clue – you’d think it would have had a similar inception of something like a CGM and had been around for longer. And you’re so right about that assurance felt from having an extra layer of security to keep watch, just in case. I can only speak from the experience of having a CGM monitor things to a degree overnight, but I imagine it’s the same basic premises. Mike, hope the data in the next month or so doesn’t signal any middle-of-the-night calls or alerts your way, my friend. Best to you… and whatever name you might have your new Heart Cell (Texting My Heart?).
Mike, that is amazing & I am so very grateful that there is something so cool that keeps you monitored & alive. Also you win the “Who’s the Most Bionic?” contest. 😀
