I too have tattoos. I have not regretted any of mine and plan on getting another one soon. Amanda, I love the thought of having one for diabetes. I've been trying to come up with one but haven't figured it out yet.

Okay - are you sure it was your monitor you were chewing on when you saw the picture of the pizza I posted - because I see a chunk out of mine here?

Hi, Michael! Thanks for the support! It is a real pain to learn what you have and it is more painful that a lot depends on me as docs cannot tell anything concrete. It is so much to learn about the disease and I am indeed finding a lot of information here!
Thanks, again!

Aww, love the sweet dog in your photo! Yep, it does always seem to be something, at least for me ;-) I picked up the presto strips today, and it was only a small co-pay, whereas my other strips were free. At least I got them.

The Zero-Click software comes with the cable, so it's roughly the same cost as for any other brand's system. The reports are pretty complete and you can export the basic information as .csv files.

The issue I'm running into right now is that the drivers don't yet support 64-bit Windows Vista.

Thanks, Michael. I read through that whole workbook and jotted some things down. Some of it went over my head for now (science was never my subject!) but I'm letting it be ok that I don't get it all at once. I'll get back to the fine points soon. January, wow you seem to be doing great! Keep up the good work and thanks for your help!

Thanks for the add as well! haha. Boston is windy as usual but it was SO nice and warm out today I walked around town a bit. Any tips for the Bostonian lifestyle? ...I've lived in a suburb my whole life but only moved to my campus in September.
