[Diabetes-Talk] Introducing myself

[d m gina]

Hello,
Welcome to the group.
I wouldn't say fun anything like that.
I am sure you know more about everything than I do.
I am trying to learn the g seven, finding it difficult.
I think I change the patch tomorrow, but can't find where on the phone

Welcome abord, looking forward to your Thanks for writing.
