[Diabetes-Talk] New Member Looking For Support

[Sheila]

hello, my name is Sheila and I live in great falls Montana. I was 
diagnosed last Januart sixth with type II. and was absolutely 
overwhelmed. I was so afraid of making mistakes that I had a hard time 
sleeping for several weeks. I do check my sugars I have the clever 
choice talking meter as well as the protedgy voice meter. I get more 
error messages from the protedgy  some of the systems out there want you 
to use insulin but I'm not on insulin at least yet. I take my 
medications regularly and have been able to bring my a1c numbers down 
from eight point one to six point five and that took me six months.
