RE: thoughts and a recipe for you,

[Guest guest]

Hi, Vicki.

Check out the following link:

It describes various talking blood glucose monitors. None is perfect. But

the best, I believe, is the Accu-Chek VoiceMate.

Dear Vickie,

I have an acu check voice mate and have been very satisfied with it though it

doesn't like to give readings when it gets cold and sometimes I keep my house

too cold because I was meant to be an Eskimo!

Just thinking, maybe I should wrap the poor thing in a towel to insulate it.

I love the memory on the machine because as you press a button it lists your

readings from the last to the earliest, as long as you want to listen. It gives

the date and time of the test and the results, and when you've been good, the

numbers sound beautiful. If you haven't kept those carbs in line, then the

numbers give you the hint that your body needs your more careful protection.

Here's a completely silly thing that makes me want to tell that quiet man voice

it has to shut up. When you turn it on, it gives your I D and calmly says,

" insert strip, " If you aren't organized and have the strip ready to slide in, a

very easy thing, it repeats, " insert strip. " and I want to tell it to hold its

horses and shut up and I'll put the slip in when I'm good and ready. Now, if I

was ready beforehand, I wouldn't have to hear that little instruction over and

over.

The machine also tells you to apply blood and thank heavens it says that only

once, because I'm still not crazy about finger sticks and some days I do the

sticks faster than others.

You'll want to practice touching the side of your finger to the indented part of

the strip without sticking it so when you really have a little ruby dot you

won't smear it somewhere you didn't mean it to go. If you are on target, the

machine tells you to relax, you've done it by beeping. After a short time it

tells you your lucky, well let's hope it's lucky, number. I'm not testing as

often as I should, because after 6 weeks of changing my eating, I spent 6 months

denying I had diabetes. Of course my acu check was patiently waiting to tell me

the truth, but I unplugged it shoved it under a heavy couch and the battery was

low.

I'm trying much harder now, not perfect, but mindful and aware that my acu check

is my friend, even if he's a nag about inserting that strip pronto.

So far, I haven't had technical difficulties with mine. Probably because I don't

use it enough, but I've heard the company is excellent about sending

replacements when your machine isn't working. I did call customer service once

and the guy was a prince, kind and, patient and not laughing out loud about what

I don't know about electronics.

Here's something kind of funny. When my acu check arrived I was still very sick

recuperating from a ruptured appendix and a visiting nurse was there. She said,

You don't need that case, it's ugly, " and " just poke your finger with the

lancet, I don't know how to work that pen. " Well I've since heard the case is

functional and though not as glitzy as one of those designer bags in metallic

leathers or the ones with buckles and studs, it is just a basic carrying case

and there's nothing at all ugly about it. Now, with my imagination, I'm liable

to buy stick on embroidered roses and butterflies and some sparkly cavishons to

decorate. it. Stand back. Then it might really be ugly, a gaudy horror.

Vickie, everything I've written in this post is true, but I think you can figure

which parts were shared in humor. I like it when this list flows with good

advice and facts, but I require some upbeat posts and humor to help me with a

food plan which seems dull but is necessary. Posts like 's Santa poem,

's honesty about the easy and tough times, and a little debating

between our experts keep things interesting here.

Take care of yourself. You'll be very glad to have the Acu Check or whatever

speaking lactometer you pick. It makes you independent and keeps good records

for you.

Always With Love,

Lissi

Get your physician to write that prescription for you today via telephone.

Write the prescription for the device mentioned below and also have him

write the prescription for six bs test per day for tight blood glucose

control. Once you have achieved bs mastery, you can probably get by with

just three or four bs at most per day. I am not kidding. I know finger

pricks hurt. I also know no pain no gain.

If you need to get in touch with a good supplier of diabetic test strips

just contact me off list at:

hdbates@...

I can only give advice. I profit by not one cent for giving it to you.

advice, only the wise profit from it. "

Get your physician to write that prescription for you today via telephone.

Write the prescription for the device mentioned below and also have him

write the prescription for six bs test per day for tight blood glucose

control. Once you have achieved bs mastery, you can probably get by with

just three or four bs at most per day. I am not kidding. I know finger

pricks hurt. I also know no pain no gain.

If you need to get in touch with a good supplier of diabetic test strips

just contact me off list at:

>> Chicken Pot Pie Heart-Friendly Recipe (Click for more information)

>> Diabetes-Friendly Recipe (Click for more information) Low-Carb Recipe

>> (Click for more information)

>> Serves: 6 person(s)

>>

>> Preparation Time: 25 mins

>> Cooking Time: 50 mins

>> Extra Time: 30 mins (for pre-cooking chicken, if necessary)

>>

>> Yield: 6 x 1/6 pie servings

>>

>> Few meals warm the colder months quite like a piping hot, hearty pot

>> pie!

>>

>> Suggestions:

>> Although making a homemade pot pie may sound challenging, the short

>> cuts in this version make it as easy as pie. And using just one crust

>> keeps this recipe lower in fat and calories. It is a great way to use

>> leftovers, too.

>>

>> * Note: to quick thaw frozen veggies, put them in a strainer and run

>> hot water over them.

>>

>> Ingredients:

>>

>> 1 1/2 Tbsp all-purpose flour

>> 1/2 cup + 3/4 cup fat-free, reduced-sodium chicken broth

>> 1 tsp canola oil

>> 2 cup chopped mushrooms

>> 1 1/2 tsp chopped fresh thyme (or 1/4 tsp dried)

>> 1 dash each of salt and pepper, to taste

>> 1/2 package (10 oz) frozen mixed vegetables, thawed (carrots, corn and

>

>> peas

>> preferable) *

>> 2 cup (12 oz) cooked skinless chicken breast, cubed

>> 1 prepared pie crust, 9-inch

>> 2 tsp fat-free milk

>>

>> Directions:

>> Preheat the oven to 400ºF. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour

>> and 1/2 cup of the broth. In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the oil over

>> medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, 6 minutes, or until

>

>> they are tender. Add the remaining broth, thyme, salt and pepper; and

>> bring to a boil. Whisk in the flour mixture and cook, stirring

>> constantly, for 3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Stir in the

>> mixed vegetables and chicken.

>>

>> Remove the pan from the heat and place the mixture in a 9-inch pie

>> plate (with no crust on the bottom).

>>

>> Place the crust over top of the filling, press the dough to the edges

>> of the pie plate and flute the edges. If you buy a pre-made pie crust

>> already in the tin, thaw it and remove it from the tin. When you're

>> putting it over the filling be sure to push the dough down around the

>> pie plate. Cut two slits in the center of the crust and brush the top

>> with milk. Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until the

>> crust is lightly browned.

>>

>> Variations:

>> You can use turkey instead of chicken, or any type of veggies you

>> like. Make one 9-inch or split the crust and make smaller individual

>> pies.

>>

>> Serving suggestions are not included in the nutritional analysis.

The best meter, I think, is the Accu-check Voice Mate. It is made by roesch

You can call them at . Listen tohe options and press the right

button and they tell you how to get one from Medi-Caid. It will definitely

pay. You will need a prescribtion from your doc stating you need this

particular machine as you are totally blind it is the easiest to use. He

will also have to prescribe the test strips, which are called Accucheck

comfort curve test strips. Tell him how many you will use a day and he can

order the correct amount for monthly, or for 3 months at a time.(I'm not

sure if you can join a 3 month prescription company or not.)

Re: thoughts and a recipe for you,

Hi all, I appreciate all of the comments you have given me. I realize I must

do someting about the bloometer and I will start looking into it. I do have

medicaid so maybe that will cover something. Is there one best meter that

is really accessible for someone with no sight? I am actually looking

around on the net and can't find any so far so if I could ask for a

suggestion or 2 about ones to consider I'd appreciate it very much.

Vicki, I also ate like a pig on Thanksgiving, but got back on the wagon

afterwards. (Does sugar free chocolate count as being on the wagon?)

At my last consult with my diabetic educator, she said not to worry

about the occasional cheat. Yesterday at my MD's, I'd gained about 4

pounds since my last checkup, and was told not to worry as it was the

holiday season. Still ... I want to stay on the wagon, but like you, I'm

less able around holiday season time, which thankfully is relatively

short given the whole year.

Vicki, MaxiAids has a talking glucometer you can get, which I feel is

like the diabetic equivalent of a white cane for a blind person.

We got one shortly after I was diagnosed last year. Being able to

monitor my blood glucose levels cut down on my anxiety about my sugars,

and consequently was an invaluable tool for getting Mr. D. under

control.

Incidentally, not to be picky, but ...

" glucometer " is a misnomer. It is, in fact, a trade-marked name for one

blood glucose monitoring system. It is more correct, as I have done

here, to call the thing a " blood glucose monitor " ; hence, a " talking

blood glucose monitor " .
