My husband was diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic 18 months ago.  I have
lived most of my life with a father who is Type 1.  My father didn't
take good care of himself and is now facing the consequences.  I don't
want that to happen to my husband.

You'll probably laugh at this - at least I hope you do anyways.
Usual routine BG test...
Expected routine: Prick finger, milk a drop of blood and test.

Kidney beans, for example, have twice the net carbs per serving.

Hi, all. I saw my doctor and he said I have low blood pressure. I don't
remeber what he said the numbers were but he told me to drink at least 8

my meds. What I need to know is low blood pressure a bad ...

If any of you have Brittle Diabetes and Type II - ask your doctor to
investigate Byetta as your treatment.
I know a guy who it did miracles for.  (this isn't a byetta ad, it's
personal experience).

I've posted here on a semi-regular basis and I credit the advice I got here,
particularly Jennifer's advice for the newly diagnosed,  with the excellent
control I've had.  My question, though, is regarding my mom, who was
diagnosed a little more than a year ago.

I get my testkit through my HMO...including strips.  However, I've
started looking at the Sunday adverts to see what's out there (frankly,
I'm looking for a good deal on a Home A1c kit).
Today, I noticed a coupon in the Osco Drug flyer:

Another year, another session and another result.
"We can find no evidence of any diabetic retinopathy or damage"
That will do for ME! :))
