meeters.

[Guest guest]

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.
