Just asking if anyone likes it please

I would like to k ow if anything is better, pump wise

I went back to auto yesterday. Now on my second day my levels have been high for 2 hours 14.2. One thing I have not said also is I have had severe laser eye treatment 20 years ago to stop bleeds. I cannot have any more ( max done) so if I get any more bleeds? What the eye dept told me was...
