Re: palm must smoke funny mushrooms!

Are you naturally an idiot or did you have to work
at it? Don't bother answering., I honestly don't think
any of us really care, other then the fact we'll start
to post after you and show every newbie that joins
just what a jackass you really are.

1. I've been diabetic for over 5yrs. I listen to the
advise HERE more then my endo. Because the ppl
here live it daily AS I do... my endo does NOT.

2. I test 8-12x a day and I've NEVER gotten an
infection from testing -- more senseless crap you
know nothing about. LOL and I change my lancet
ONCE a YEAR and I lick my fingers to clean them
before I test and after!

3. So, Mr. Know-it-nothing... those who inject insulin
7-9x a day, only need to test 4-6x a day at most? So,
how do they know how much insulin to inject if they don't
know what their glucose is?? eh?? Right, just what I thought
you're another eediot troll.

4. And YES frequency in testing DOES IMPROVE a
diabetics glucose readings. There's more then a simple
handful here who can testify to this. And actual humans
testifying to something that works is far better in my book
then some eediot doctor who writes a book just to make
$$ off of it.

5. isn't there a freeway you can go play on now? and leave
us alone to care for our DM...
