I don't know. I was at the Doctor yesterday and he told me I should start checking my blood sugar, but didn't offer any other information. The appointment went by in a blur, and I'm confused now. Am really blown away by the quality of care

Did they give you a meter or anything? I check my blood 3-times a day!
Here is a Diabetes Forum that is pretty good, Everyone there has the Big "D" or is close to getting it! Some very good reads over there. It helped me out a lot, Just remember Carbs are not your friend to keep Blood Sugars Low have to watch them close... And Workout a lot, I do now...

Thanks, and they did not give me a meter. And I'm scared of needles, so i'm not sure that i will be able to test myself.

The Kit test Lancelets don't hurt at all, I don't even notice it any more. Ask your Doctor for a test kit, I know they all have freebies, I have not ever paid for a kit. Just the test strips... Check out that other board its has some great info for anyone who might think they have the big "D".

Thanks for the questions on PM. Hope the web sites help out
