Diabetes Type 2 Support Group

Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

Hey Lost!!!!
That would be really nice,no more sticking! And sure very expensieve.!!

Yes but I think they would come down in price very quickly
The machines we use now were only used by doctors as they were so expensive but a few years on they are giving them away

when something is so easy to check by just resting your arm on a base it would be easy to become obsessive.

the other diabetic site is a bit slack at the moment as the Leader Goldi has been in the Hospital for about 6 weeks

She should be out soon and get things moving again

Keep well

Regards

Lost

Sounds great, does any one know if there is an update that was in 2001, I tried to find one, was unsuccessful.

sounds good to me. The finger prick is worse than taking an insulin shot?

deleted_user 08/20/2010

I'll repeat what I said on Dealing on the same subject. I think pricking my finger is the easiest part of diabetes.

Maybeyou enjoy hurting yourself!!!! I hate that part also mostly cause I never use the pens, I just jab myself with the needles and of course do it too hard and that is why it hurts. Oh well..it is faster and just too lazy.
I pray for the day no jabs!!!!

The main benefit is saving on the cost of the strips,

Arline you will still be able to get the needles to satisfy any Masochistic Needs
