[Diabetes-Talk] Update on Embrace software

[Andy Langbart]

Jeanette,

I am planning on emptying my embrace supplies by tomorrow night and 
setting up the new software. I'll try to let you know how it seems, but 
it definitely seems like it would be a better alternative than the 
company I was using.


Regards,

Andy
