[Diabetes-talk] Testing 8 Times a Day?

[Everett Gavel]

Hi Lissi, and All,

Glad to have you back on the list. I'm glad to be
back and getting involved again, too. As for your
doc telling you to test 8 times a day, I'm not
sure what to say to that except, "Is it wrong to
want to tap your doctor upside his noggin?"
Sheesh. I wonder if he had to, would he honestly
do it 8 times a day himself, y'know? Eight times?
Bah humbug to that. It took me years to accept and
comply with 4-5 tims a day. Of course, such
stubbornness is at least part of the reason I'm
blind, too. Live and learn, live and learn.
Usually the hard way, though. ;-)


Strive On Indeed, Lissi, Strive On!

I rejoined the list because I need help myself.
For example, when it comes 
to talking glucometers I know nothing!!! I heard
they aren't making them 
anymore. And I'm seeing an endocrinologist for the
first time. To comply 
with his recommendations I should be sticking
myself 8 times a day and so 
far I've only managed to get it right one day. I
don't like thinking about 
it, much less doing it. I have such a long way to
go!

I like your, "Strive on." I'm still striving to do
my morning glucose check 
and it's past noon.

Always with love,
Lissi
