    Painless Insulin Injections from a Patch for People with Type I Diabetes may be on the Horizon

    I know I was only diagnosed LADA at 50, so only been stabbing myself for 6 years, but a patch would be great. I already have a morphine patch I wear everyday, so know how easy they are at medicating.slap it on, and forget.

    Accu-Chek Mobile - anyone had faults when doing a reading?

    The biggest mistake people do when testing with the mobile, is to swipe their finger across the test ribbon. You need to just hold it ever so slightly off, and let the blood drop and ribbon attract each other.

    Capsaicin and Gabapentin

    Angela, I am on the same dose of gabapentin as you with no side effects. Did you slowly build up the dose? As starting on too high a dose can cause those feelings.

The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his car when the mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey Doc, want to take a look...
