Super_sally replied to andrea's discussion 'High Fat, Low Carb, confused about protein'"From my readings of Bernstein, the issue will be the carbs in the nuts which do add up if you're munching a lot of them.

Macadamia nuts are the highest oil nuts (also expesnive), but are probably the best in terms of having…"

Not to be confused with food allergy (I didnt know there was a difference). This was all found while I was searching for an answer as to why I cannot lose…See More

When testing with two meters, to compare; it is critical to have both meters loaded up and test the same fingerprick blood spot. Unfortunately the blood is not totally constant and really is a a bunch of packets stacked up behind each other…"
Sarah replied to andrea's discussion 'serious question about the One-Touch Ultralink'"i too use the OneTouch when I started on MM pump, then got the new Carelink Contour/Bayer Meter, which also talks to Revel pump.
