    I've bought an avocado, now what

    I also didn't like it at first but I gave it a try & now I like it. I jazz it up with lemon & pepper or use other ingredients, can add to salad. just be careful when you try to cut it & lift the stone carefully. Buy the Hass Avocado as it is a suitable size to eat.Most supermarkets sell them.

    Three meters - three different readings.

    I was told not to inject on the thumb due to giving wrong numbers on BG.The index finger is not to be used too due to getting pain. So I just use ring finger & little finger& adjust the pen to prick.I found my fingers get cramps off & on & it's very painful.
