Hello Joni! Thank you for having me as a friend :) I'm in Canada...in the southwestern part of the province of Ontario. I'm a wife of 33 years (hubby is also diabetic), mom to two grown children (one 28, the other 26), a grandma to 3 lovable little boys, a teacher, and before that an illustrator (still do some) and graphic designer....I speak French fluently, I read, history fascinates me, I paint, sing, walk, garden, ski, ride my bike....did I mention "read"? I love having friends over, I bake/cook, am an eclectic music lover, an animal lover...the ocean...ah the ocean...it speaks to me! Oh...and I have diabetes (and a few other things). Nice to have you as a friend!!! Tell me a bit about yourself and
keep in touch, ok?
hugs....linda
Hey, saw your comment about the Relion A1C test. I bought two of them and sent them in about 3 months apart. BOTH were lost by whatever lab does the analyzing. I had kept the little receipt deal and in each instance, they showed no record of receiving it. This left a pretty sour taste in my mouth. Sure, it was a lot cheaper than the Bayer (and yup, the Bayer is definitely more complicated) but WalMart refused to refund my money. Bummer.
Hello! How Do You Do, and....HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you ♥ Best Wishes NOW....and on the next 364 days!
How's it all going? Do you have any questions or comments?
