What's the best website for inputting recipes for nutritional info?
Started this discussion. Last reply by T1Tambien May 14, 2011. 11 Replies 0 Likes

one touch meter link
I have the minimed paradigm pump and the Real Time cgm that goes with it. I just found out my new insurance will only cover accucheck test strips. I have the One Touch Meter that automatically is linked to my pump, so I don't have to manually input my blood sugars. Do any of you know if other meters will link to my pump?See More

Anyway, I wondered if any of you live near these places, and if so, who your doctor and/or nurse practitioner are. Two compassionate nurse practitioners are the only people I can credit for any progress I've made battling diabulimia. Bad, unsympathetic Dr.'s are a huge fear of mine and I'd rather not start out in a new place getting…See More
