    Which glucose monitor?

    Thanks both for that info. Usually test on my way home, after a couple of hrs. Anything to make life a bit easier, while I am holding on to Freddie, my 17 month old border. Who has turned my life around for the better.

    Will there ever be a cure?

    I was told by my diabetes nurse, that even if there was a cure for diabetes , I would'nt, get it for a long time . As I had such good control. And anyway after all these years, how would you stop yourself doing those automatic things.
