[Diabetes-talk] ld be in the mail

[Diane]

(Kicking Mike's soap box over)
Mike, in Cheryl's defense...
She is out of strips and frantic.
I am so proud of her for being a good diabetic and worrying about having the 
strips to test her blood sugars as needed!
I have run low on strips many times, thinking they would be in the mail 
soon, and have run into the same problem.
Also, when getting a new meter, I know you can't use the same strips for 
every meter, but this can be an anxious time too, as my new Prodigy voice 
only came with 20 (I think)
She is a strong member of DAN and the NFB, and deserves the chance to be 
heard, just like you,and just like me...EVERYONE does!
