You have cleared a few nthings up for me, thank you I often wondered why the pain was so bad.

I think that they are a great idea, although they are expensive and way out of my price range as I dare say many others on sickness benefits cant afford them either. Maybe we less fortunates will have to settle for one drawn on our wrist instead and risk being called drunk when having a hypo in...
