miketosh commented on Bernard's group 'Continuous Glucose Monitor Users'"So far, out of 4 MM sensors used from a box (7 days each), all have been unable to accurately track my sugars. Ugh. $700 wasted. I wonder if it has anything to do with the box being left at my door out in the sun by UPS!?!?! Do you think MM will…"
DizGrizz commented on Bernard's blog post 'Review of the new Accu-Chek FastClix lancing device'"A bit belated, but in answer to the "do they use the same drums?"...no, they do not. The FastClix has a new, slightly smaller drum."
Bernard commented on Felidia's blog post 'Baby steps'"Give yourself a big high five when you remember to do these things. And don't be discouraged when you forget. It takes TIME to turn something into a habit, keep persevering."

Please visit my diabetes blog to learn more about diabetes technology and developments
I continue working on a Diaboogle, the diabetes-minded search engine, built with Google technology. It now searches over 1,500 sites all about diabetes. This include 600 diabetes blogs, and over 100 sites selling diabetes products. I donate the advertising revenue to support Dr. Denise Faustman's research into a type 1 cure.
Please try it out and let me know if you find it useful. And if you know of a diabetes site that you don't find in Diaboogle, I'd love to know about it.

Felidia said… Thank you for the encouragement and the hugs. My writing... it was simply a free flow of thought. I would never make it past my 7th grade English teacher with that in hand! I just felt I needed to get it all out. We will see what replies I get. I hope I do get some...
Thanks again!

I saw you were involved with Grove Instruments non invasive glucose meter. Any chance you can give me some info on the one you trialed?
Thanks.

I think you know I lived in Lexington 65 years and was an Educator in Wayland and Arlington. Boy do I miss New England. We have endured the hottest summer ever here in Florida. Reed

Good to hear from you. Yes, I have had a decent summer after a rather harrowing year. My friend of over 50 years died last October and I have been in a deep funk since then.(Deep funks are not reommended for glucose control), but my brother in Norway convinced me to take a 24-day cruise on the Qeen Mary 2 from New York to New York, visiting the two cities in Norway where my family members live. It was a great experience, and the 10 pounds I gained on the cruise have now been discarded. These days I am, as G&S would have phrased it, "doing very little and doing that very well."
Please tell me how you are faring these days. You had some employmemt issues recently, and the economy has not been very kind. Please give me an update.
