| Lifescan/OneTouch strips recall | 23 Dec 2005 00:38 GMT | 2 |
http://www.lifescan.com/company/about/press/ultra_ts/ Only one production lot, and because the vials are short, not because the strips are faulty. Or so it seems. +++++++++++++

| Diabetes as a Teacher | 22 Dec 2005 22:57 GMT | 52 |
I teach in a secondary school and am really committed to my job. I put a lot of hours in and really enjoy running lunchtime clubs etc. Unfortunately, being a teacher is one of the reasons why my HbA1c is so poor. I am no good at knowing when to take a break, eat, test, inject

Has anyone been prescribed this med yet? Irbesartan ( Avapro ) is a new pharmaceutical for type II's with hypertension and kidney failure. I'd like to know how well it's working for those who are taking it.

| Meter accuracy compared to lab results | 22 Dec 2005 21:27 GMT | 53 |
I recently had a blood test, and took the opportunity to check my meters. Actually, I only tested two of them, as I have three one-touch series (two ultras and an ultra smart) that usually read nearly the same. I've also decided to abandon the wallgreens trutrack as it has

| Being responsible | 22 Dec 2005 20:15 GMT | 21 |
I have to confess that I am tired of being responsible. I feel utterly depressed when I contemplate the Christmas holidays which always used to be, for me, a time of no rules about diet or alcohol - just a time to enjoy and then work out how to recover for the next bash.

I wish I could say it was nice to join you, but in all honesty it isn't! It's only a few weeks since I officially became a member and I'm coming to terms with all the testing and checks that are due! I'm certainly getting my money's worth from the NHS now!

| Amount of mastication and post meal glucose level | 22 Dec 2005 11:26 GMT | 10 |
A few days ago I thought someone asked what effect chewing well or not had on arrival of glucose into the blood, the idea suggested that less chewing meant a slow down in digestion and glucose absorption. Here is a study that asks the same question, they looked at normal and ...

| Bloodtest negative, but what does it tell? | 22 Dec 2005 11:18 GMT | 10 |
I have been tested for diabetes negatively. My family doctor thought I had diabetes, because of my decreased sight (from 0 for years to -1), bad skin condition, and tiredness problems. However, he prescribed a blood test sober (no eating in the morning, no
