post. Unfortunately, it looks like I'll be hanging around here as the last numbers came back high again. I have an appt with my PCP who is also an Internist on the 21st. I ended up with the One Touch Ultra meter, but haven't used it yet. I'll wait for my appt on the 21st for more formal training on it so I'm comfortable (or more comfortable, as the thought of sticking myself scares the begeebies out of me!) Take care, everyone - enjoy your day, make it happy!

Hello and welcome Angie. I am a T2 diabeteic - diagnosed in October and at first the thought of having to stick myself regularly really aggrevated me - the inconvenience factor - but now I acutally don't mind at all and it become routine after awhile and can be done in moments.

So sorry about your nubers being high for you. I was so praying that your numbers would be good, because I know how much you were dreading this result. You picked out a great meter to use, but I do know what you mean about being scared to death about poking your fingers. Believe me that is the last thing anybody wants to do, but with time it will become easier to do and not so scary as well. I am looking forward getting to know you so much better and really hope you will stick around this board, because we really have a fabulous group of members here. I can't think of a better board for diabetes to be a part of then this one, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do and make a ton of great cyber friends while here. Please do let us know if you might have any questions that we can help you with, which I know one of us will be able to answer it or give you a good place to find the answers to it. We are always discussing something that is so informative for new members here, so just keep your eyes peeled for topics that are of great interest to you.


Have a great day!
