- Haven't heard from you in a while. Had an extremely busy week with going to WDD in Philly, meeting up with some folks from here and spending some fun time at my son's house. Are you feeling any better ? Did you get to do anything for WDD ?

- Ken,
Make sure your meter is coded right with the vial # to the meter and also, wash your hands before testing...it will give a false reading. You said your BS was 721? That is a very very high! What diabetes meds are you taking? You should talk to your doctor right away if that is what you are running. Please dont wait. Sugar that high is dangerous...please call your doctor or go to the hospital. I thought the meters didnt read b past 600 level? Let me know. Take care

- Hello Ken
Thank you for the message. Yes, I was dx'ed in 1993, prior to that I had no signs or symptoms of diabetes, healthy. After the birth of my youngest daughter I began to not feel right. 2 yrs later diabetes. 2 yrs after that severe DKA and in intensive care for along time and my life changed...a very long road of recovery, I had nerve damage from the DKA and alos had pre-cancer cells that developed and a drop foot....I recovered from all and I am fine...no complications. That is why I am grateful for everyday and everyone that I have in my life.
I am sorry to read that you have so much pain. Iwish you the best.
Take care
Robyn

- hi, ken, I noticed you have some meters you'd like to give someone. that's very nice of you! However, you wrote about them in your "update status box". This is not the best place to post, because as soon as we get more activity, it will "scroll" off the main page, and unless someone just happens to stop by your page, they won't see it either. It's a very common thing that many people do. We do have a category in the discussion Forum called "Free unused stuff" (I can't remember the exact wording) - here - that would be an excellent place for you to tell the community about your meters. I suggest you start a discussion there. Then it will be on the main page longer, and will be in the discussion Forum for all to see. Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for contributing to our community.
