Accurate Meters May Be Coming

Well it certainly is about time. I don't know about you but I don't want to hear that an FBS of 115 is actually 98-132. It's challenging enough keeping the balance in our every day lives between the active days (like hiking in the Roackies) and the low keys days (rainy afternoon on the couch with a book) and the changes in diet we experience.

What a very good idea at long last. I have struggled with this issue for a large part of my 53 years of diabetes. Same drop of blood WIDE RANGE of results.....like a deer in the headlights at some levels.

Sooner than later please, tighten those standards.

Nationwide, prescription pills have become a societal force. Adults and children rely on them for a growing list of afflictions, including anxiety, depression, even shyness, for which few alternatives were available a generation ago. Nearly half of all Americans take at least one prescription drug. Meanwhile, direct-to-consumer drug marketing that touts new and expanded uses has become widespread. Adults and children alike are exposed to print, television and radio ads promising happier, more fulfilled lives. For young people, experts say, all these factors appear to have blurred the line between the benefits and dangers of the medications.   

it is about time that something was done.  i can test and immediately retest with the same meter because i feel that the results are not right.  the second results can be as much as 25-30 different.  not even in range of each other when we can be talking of a reading of 100-150 sometimes.
