We actually have two, I think, as Paul has to regularly report his BP to one of his doctors as of course everything is all linked, and when they are changing his medication for one thing, he meeds to make sure his BP doesn't end up being affected in either direction too much.
don't know about the blood sugar test jabbing thing (embarrassed to admit I didn't think of that.) I keep good snacks with me. I got off schedule and in an attempt to limit my fat intake, I didn't eat any protein this morning. Dumb mistake. I have two wrist cuffs that do pretty good.

One thing I will admit: I can now take my pulse again on my wrist. It's been several months since I've been able to feel my pulse.

I've had metabolic issues since my 20s but it wasn't severe enough to be caught back then and I used diet until it didn't work anymore.


Thanks Karen
