Oh glug,
I even play the guitar where your fingers get so tough I can't hardly 
feel the strings.
That was why I went to the free style libre.
I didn't know they had other places I could use if I just did more insulin.
Now they say three times a day.
Where I am think it is four.
I was told the long insulin is at night before bed time.
Then the rest is at each meal.
Is this what you do as well?
