[Diabetes-Talk] Looking for a mentor of sorts

[Bonnie Lucas]

Hello,

I received a call from a gentleman who is diabetic and as a talking glucose monitor. He is struggling to get the blood on his strip and I shared my somewhat limited information with him. However, I think he would benefit more by being able to talk with someone who is doing this every day. Also, I talked with him a bit about the newer devices, sorry, not sure of the company's name, Dexcom, and said that I'd find someone who could share more information with him. He knows how to use an iPhone somewhat and could probably learn to use it. He is over 60 and is really struggling with pricking his fingers so much. I would say a few hours would be adequate to help him out. If you think you'd be in a position to help, write me and we'll talk about the logistics. I do hope there is someone out there!

Thank you.

Bonnie
