Thank you for your kind advice. I have tried the Kardia, but my arrhythmias weren't coming often enough for it to work. Hard to keep your fingers on it at all times! The Holter monitor works well, but I only had it for one day and I wasn't bad on that day (of course!). And I'm a chicken when it comes to sticking my finger. But it may come to that. It's just that knowing won't really help. I already know from years of experience that I need to eat regularly or bad things happen. But my symptoms are getting worse. That is the thing that worries me. But then, I'm pretty old, and have had a good life all in all. You do really suffer with these things, though, and I feel so bad for all the young people on here.

@janepastvan I was offered a patch monitor for a month (I only did it for two weeks but could have done a month). Maybe that would help. Or a smartwatch?

My kid has type 1 diabetes and had to prick her finger 15 times/day when a child. I think of her when I test my blood sugar! Like you have occasions of low blood sugar. I know that eating something sweet without fat or protein will result in a low blood sugar in about 2 hours. I have to remember to include protein and/or fat with white rice, white potatoes etc.
