A search of DUK and this Forum in particular did not reveal what I am looking for, i.e., thoughts/comparisons between BG Meters and GSMs, and comparisons between different makes of GSMs. If you know differently please inform me. I admit that about 10-12 years ago, and AFAIK not suffering from...

just realising that my type 2 diabetes diagnosis is something I need to have some solid facts on. This condition. Lots of stress factors in my life that makes daily 'taking care of myself' difficult. Thought I'd join this forum for some support and to gain some knowledge on this subject, to...
