So sorry to hear about all the misery you have been through . I went

for 2 years like that between losing beloved people and the health problems

I had, I really didn't feel like going on. This immediate past year has

been much better. Let's hope 2012 will be better for you.

By the way, congrats on getting that high A1C down.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Hi all:

It has been a long time since I was on the list at least participating. I

have had a terrible three years. Anyways on to the

subject. I have an acuecheck machine with the voice mate 2. I have found it

the best meeter I have ever tried. The voice is a

human voice not a computer voice. Very clear. Also I was able to set up

everything myself and I didn't need any sighted asistance

at all. Wonderful. It is working very well right now but I got a very

unwelcome phone call today. They called me and said that it

was discontinued and they are no longer supporting it at all. I am hoping

that I can still get strips and stuff. Can anyone tell

me about a good meeter that allows me to be independant as I am now? I am

living in Canada so I will of course need one that is

available there. I am in the midst of getting my sugar back under control. I

had so many things going on in the last three years

that I have not been consintrating on my sugar as I should. When my husband

was sick I was caring for him at home. I lost him

though on August the eighth 2010. Then this year just about one hear later,

I lost my step dad to bladder cancer. Now just three

months later, I lost my mother. She had a stroke and lived for a week after,

but she died on November fifteenth. This has just

been awful and I have been suffering from deep deepression. It is terrible

to say, but I went through a period where I really

didn't care what happened anymore. Especially after died. i really am

trying to get my a1c back down. It was up to ten at

one time and just last week when I was tested I had it down to 7.3. I am

really working hard now on my diet. I hope all of you

have a merry merry Christmas and that you will have a Happy New Year.

yesterday is history. Tomorrow a mystery. Today is a gift, that is why it is

called the present.
