I see lots of people getting excited over the Blood glucose meters. They are free after rebate or there is a RR/ECB for them... What do you do with them? My family doesn't have any diabetics, the strips that you have to use with the monitor are too expensive to be have the monitor be a novelty item in my house. I checked with the homeless shelters and domestic violence shelters in my ...

Do I need to go through my doctor to get one? She's brought it up once since I was diagnosed (in August) and said, "We don't give glucose meters to newly diagnosed patients." Should I be concerned? Not being able to check my blood sugar is making me anxious.

We are taking my 3 yo (as of Saturday) to the pediatric endrocrinolgist (sp?), to see if he is hypoglycemic. -He had what they call an "episode" about 2 months ago. Well, we missed the first appointment in August (DH had training for work that week). Well Tuesday was the first time we could get in. His episode consisted of well, he just ...

I know there were a few folks around here who had acquired free blood glucose meters through drugstore promotions. I am currently in the market for such a thing for a young woman I know whose doctor has advised her she is "pre-diabetic" and should keep tabs on her blood sugar, but because she is not diabetic, testing supplies are not covered by insurance. She doesn't have a lot of money....
