Thank you very much Racho

Hi, I appreciate that; I thought i might get some thoughts ans reviews from other diabetics who use it.

I have had a letter today from my GP surgery saying that due to cost diabetics in my area are being put on a cheaper meter. We are being "standardised. I have looked it up, t he TEE2, and the thing that really stands out is that the lancing device uses individual lancets instead of what I am...

Please can you give me some info on this meter? Being put on it by my doctor. Thank you!

Hi, I was wondering if anyone on here is visually impaired or blind and how you cope with testing and injections. I am visually impaired but have a good amount of sight still, but wonder what I would do if it got worse. Apart from this I am quite able bodied. Does your partner do them for...
