[Diabetes-Talk] difficulty testing my sugar level

[Patricia Homan]

Introduction:
Sorry I wasn’t able to change the subject line I am not sure why.
My name is Pattie and I have just subscribed to this made a list.
I have been diabetic for about 10 years now but I just now feel like I need to know more about it.
Hope to learn a lot from this list and hope to make good new friends.
Thanks again
Warmly Pattie Homan Eitington
