Living With Diabetes
Anyone living with diabetes knows how challenging it
can be. By becoming informed about diabetes, you
may be able to avoid many health-related complications through diet, exercise and by following the
treatment plan your physician prescribed for you.
Glucose meters and test strips
Choosing a blood glucose meter is a very personal decision.
So we’ve provided some useful information to help you
