Hello, and welcome to the forums!

Hi, Myrtle! Welcome to the forums. I'm from the US also. The people are really nice in here, and helpful too.

I'd say it's for both groups, and also people who are T1 or T2, people who care for T1's or T2's, or anyone who just wants to lower their carb count for any number of reasons.

Fasting this AM - 115 will put in what I ate today later.

Hello, and welcome to the forums! I'm a proud gran too. Nothing beats it.

Hello, and welcome to the forum. Unfortunately, I can't help with the insurance for 2 reasons - I have none at the moment, and I live in the US.

@Brekkie we have days worth of warnings for when a hurricane will hit, and they are mostly during the summer and fall so we have time to cook up stuff and store in fridge to be heated up in disposable roasting pans on a grill. We can also cook meats on a grill that are in danger of thawing out...

I change mine and my Mom's needles once a week, on Sundays. Even put it on my calendar (we have 2 different lancets) or before and after we check another person.

Congratulations! Any addition to a family is a blessing.

Yes, I'm tired of the mood swings - but they alert me that something is not 100% with my bg readings and I can keep a closer eye on them.

I tried to give it up completely - nothing doing. I now have just 1 a day, in the AM with my breakfast. I guess it's a balancing act. Like with everything else in life.

Hi, Sally. I'm a T2, but also on insulin - using MDI and also take Janumet 2x daily. Up until last year I was using a mixed insulin and every summer my levels would DROP big time. After last summer, when I ended up in ER several times because of lows, my NP and I decided to try a long lasting...
