    Medical Bracelets

    My medical info is on my phone. All anyone need do is click the Google Keep icon which has been renamed Emergency Info and everything is there. I am not bothered about anyone else looking at my medical information if I’m ill. Most other stuff is cloud based.

    Thank you all so much. I’m an Amazon shopper. Any tips on a decent meter etc from there? I’m into anything that is “smart”. Anything new is good for me. Thank you

    I stopped using crutches after my ankle fusion and now use Nordic walking poles (or just one pole) when needed. So very much easier. D

    Type 2 Numb leg and foot

    Hi. I’m recently diagnosed type 2. My lower leg (top of knee down to toes) is a bit numb. It’s not painful. I am a little unsteady when walking. I have had ankle fusion surgery just over a year ago and that along with recuperation was fine. This is new to me.... Any thoughts welcome. Thanks...
