[Diabetes-talk] help being blind is all right but being blind and diabetic is not good at all

[Colleen Roth]

Hello,
The Independence Market has the Countadose made by Prodigy.
I'm sure that the CD is included with this unit.
Actually Dawn was supposed to get the item which measures 100 units from Maxiaids. Otherwise 
she would have to take 2 injections instead of one.
Maxaids is the only provider of the 100 unit device.
