Not all strips and meters use the same

When I return next week I'll put some
Links up.

Also what you read "today" about A1C
And other suggestions may change
with time. Already there is a complex
Paper out there explaining A1C differences
By age and race and in certain populations
not to over medicate or treat these
Patients .

I just bumped up a thread that pertains
To this subject. So today it is at the
top of this forum.
i think a lot about the article you posted a while back about age affecting the sugar and I always think that it might be.... but, with all my condiitions, I'd like to be pro-active in dealing with my health.

as far as the vitamin c., i started cutting it back to 500mg. As you may know, i need my immune system to be working well. The major side effects of the medicines to me is the abnormally low WBC and Neutrophils. To start with, my immune system may have been low thats why i acquired the infection so now with low Wbc,etc i have virtually no defense for regular bugs, I am really prone to other infections.

thank you.

Mary
