Testing Supplies
I’m wondering what type of testing supplies y’all are using. I’ve used all kinds, but after 6 years of working at my local Walmart pharmacy (I’m not working right now, but was working for Ruger, the gun manufacturer, before the cancer), I learned about Relion brand supplies.
At first I started using Relion Prime, which worked just as well for me as did the more expensive brands (your doctor will give you a meter for free, but the test strips are outrageous). After comparing them side by side… read more
I used Relion before getting my Medicare, never had any problem, but my Medicare has sent me a free meter and strips ever 3 months. Thank you for passing the info on about the insulin, I'm glad… read more

Meal Time Insulin
Meal time insulin is coming for sure. I see my Dr. in September and my am and pm bs are very high. The increase of Toujeo to 80 units is not bringing it down. I really don't like all this testing I will be doing. I have never had to worry about low bs. How do these pumps work? Will they help me have less needle sticks? Do they administer insulin? I need to be educated and know you, my friends, will help. I feel good. Each day is different. Life is an adventure
God bless all of you. Thank you… read more

Why Is My A1C At 6.5 But My Blood Sugars Are Real High Sometimes?
Then that makes sense. If you have just started the Humulin it may take a bit of tweaking to finalize how many units you will need.
