My son is constantly testing his blood glucose levels at school which concerns me greatly. I would not dare to tell him not to test but I am unsure of exactly how to handle this situation. What can I do to help him differentiate between highs and lows? Is his type of sensitivity common?

Since I was little I would get these “bumps” on my fingers that caused discomfort. I went to a dermatologist and he prescribed Clobetasol. He thought it was Dishydrotic Eczema.

My best friend almost died this past summer, and, as a result she needs to test herself several times a day. She also has lost a good portion of her vision. I am trying to find out which meter would work best for her. She is tired of pricking herself and has problems reading the results at times. Are there a few monitors you recommend?
