Dawn, I worked as a rehabilitation teacher and there was a product called
count-a-dose.  It is now Prodigy count-a-dose.  It uses 50 cc syringes.
LS&S sells it but I would guess Maxiaids, Independent Living Aids, and
possibly NFB Independence Market also sells it.
There is probably a rehabilitation teacher who works in your part of Ohio
who could demonstrate it before you spend money only to find it won't work
for you.  If you need help finding the nearest rehabilitation teacher please
let me know where you live and I will see if I can help you with this.
There is also the option of insulin pens.  Dave's recommendation to join the
listserv for people with diabetes is also a great suggestion.  Yes, it is
possible to measure your insulin independently.  It is very important that
you find a method that works for you.
