[Diabetes-Talk] Which Meter??

[debbiewunder at charter.net]

Hi Dave. It is so easy to get away from the things that we know are good for
us, good luck in getting back to exercise again. I have a thing that I try
to remind myself of daily, because diabetes is a daily task. 
Just say A.M.E., n, Action, motivation, exercise, nutrition 

Best of Luck to friend.

I started exercising, then got away from it for some reason.  I know I need
to get back.
