[Diabetes-talk] Introduction

[Marshall Scott]

Thanks for the book!  It looks like it will give me the overview I need.  I particularly like the article that gives me an idea of how to get blood onto a strip.  I have an appointment at a diabetes center Wednesday so hopefully I'll learn more there.
