"I've given this meter my best shot for over a year now. In my case, it is totally out to lunch and at least annoying. The ONLY saving grace is the fast testing. I'm definitely considering my options."

Andy Taylor replied to Realsis77's discussion 'Lantus in Am or Pm which is the best time to inject????' in the group LANTUS® Or Humalog Users"I use Lantus 80 units, at the same time each evening before bed.

Andy Taylor replied to Dolores's discussion 'Whats the most annoying comment you've ever gotten about diabetes?'"You know what would be great?

Stemwinder said… Hi ,
You may have noticed TuD hanging around the site. It's his 6th birthday this month, and his big international family of people with diabetes is growing. Our 6th birthday fundraising campaign is on! Every dollar you donate allows TuDiabetes to reach 6 people touched by diabetes, giving them the opportunity to not be alone!
Please consider making a donation, as well as asking your friends and family to give what they can. TuD's birthday party will keep getting more guests as we raise more donations (see top of the home page). Let's help keep our family thriving and growing! Please share this message. Thanks!
