[Diabetes-talk] Still needing help for someone to learn to check her blood sugar

[Bonnie Lucas]

Hi All,

I posted a while back for a lady who is blind and has diabetes. I have checked with her about going to see a diabetes educator and she has informed me that her doctor is a very small one woman operation. She lives in a town just north of Anchorage and frankly, this is Alaska! What I'd like to try, and she is in favor, is to find a woman who is knowledgeable and patient to talk with her about what she has tried and what might work. Also, she has a sighted friend who is prediabetic and checks her blood sugar. This lady might be able to help and she could participate on the call. It might even be possible to talk with her about finding a different doctor, one in Anchorage. If she knew how important this was, she might be willing to come in. She has some transportation help, I think. If you are interested, please email me personally at

Thanks very much.
