Uh diabetic question
Hi, agin from Raphael.
U know that I haf diabetes. I haf to get uh new Blood Glucose Monitor. Mine old one is frum Walgreens and thay are not making thu one I haf or thu supplies for it any more. It is uh Prestige Smart System IQ but it has Walgreens name on it. Mom has always thought it needed too much blood (and so did I). She ust to have uh Freestyle for herownself but hur insurance wanted her to change over to uh OneTouch Ultra. She duznt think it would be a good ideea for us to use the same one. TED ses he will du some research to see what we should buy. Iffen you are a kittee with diaabeetes & yur hoomins test u, what kind uf masheen do you hafe? Du you and your hoomin like it? Thank you for your help! Raphael TKC, GCC, POTS, KWD (The Kiwanis Cat, Gray Cat Club, Pees Over The Side, Kittee with Diabetes) |

Thank you for your help! Raphael TKC, GCC, POTS, KWD (The Kiwanis Cat, Gray Cat Club, Pees Over The Side, Kittee with Diabetes) I use a SOF-TAC, which is a little pricey, but you simply load a lancet, and strip, plop it on your forearm or thigh and using vaccuum, it pops the lancet into the skin, draws a drop of blood, puts it on the strip, and analyzes it - all totally automated, and it hurts a hell of a lot less than any other meter I've tried. For a kitty, you'd need a small patch of bare skin so it could create a vaccum - but don't you need bare skin even with a conventional lancet then strip technique? Other than that, I think it's the best glucometer on the market. Unka Sonam -- Purrs, Mlle. Anaïs 10/16/2004 7:02:58 PM anais+at+electric-ink+dot+com |

None of us have it here but soft's brofur has one that uses very little
people blood, and he says that the less blood it steals the less scar tissue it makes also, soft recommends you go to the diabetes NG and ask them, to see which ones the hoomanz like best, it is good your TED is doing research for you. I stay infurested in this beclawz the shots I take fur my lip when it acts up can cause diabetes, Miss Violette, hoping you and black Jack are well Mary Lu wrote in message om...

Gis, thank u so much. TED works tomorrow (Monday), so maybe he'll
know by then. Mom liked the Freestyle but the insurance company said change. She thinks that's weird because the teststrips cost more than the Freestyle ones. Well, the copay is the same but the cost if you don't have insurance is more. Raphael "Miss Violette" wrote in message ...
