[Diabetes-Talk] Not working

Fri Dec 28 02:17:51 UTC 2018

It was interesting to me to hold down one side of the phone to slide to 
the other to get more of the app to work.
Then once he got on the computer to help with pass word so I could 
change it, working on the phone changing it I did by myself with Ed 
listening on the phone.
It is good our phones let us multitask to get help one is needed at the time.
Yes I will ask questions here, it seems the blind can help each other 
than the sighted looking at something and can't figure it out.

Rite or wrong, I feel if a company or drugstore is going to sell 
something, they need to know how to work the product.
I know it is a learning curve where again learn it.
I am hoping this will be much better as time follows threw.
