    Miaomiao 2 where to buy uk?

    Hi, I’m looking at buying a Miaomiao 2. I live in the uk, but the only websites I can find selling it are miaomiao.cool and miaomiao.eu.

    Hi, I was diagnosed on 06/12/2019 at 39, no family history, with a a1c of 115. I'm on 14 units of long lasting insulin twice a day and trying to keep as low carb as possible, although if I do fancy something then I am taking the rapid insulin to counteract the carbs. I have my numbers pretty...
