Hey, question about meters :) I've had my trusty little Freestyle Lite since June, which has never really failed me. And I've gotten some brand new strips two weeks ago. However, because I'm going to be studying in England for five months and there was recently a sale on Accu-check Aviva with...

Hey Sarah, I'm also somewhat newly diagnosed, and speaking to a nurse quite recently, she gave me exactly the opposite advice (though, keeping in mind that I'm not on any meds yet, but dealing with it through diet and exercise so far.) She applauded me for having gotten my own testing kit and...

Vicky, Ray and Malc, thank you very much. :) Nice to know that the two of you (Vicky and Ray) can recognise this. I am going to double check with my doctor, for sure, but it's nice to know that I'm not completely off thinking that it might be the diabetes. I think it may also have something to...
