Hi Sharon,

This is okay with me, however, when members are thinking about getting a new

meter or new members want to know what others use, the question is going to be

asked. Lot of members prefer asking the question rather than looking in the

files. We constantly have a turnover of members. Some of the comments in the

files could be by members that have left the group.

There are always going to be repeated discussions on every topic dealing with

diabetes. Again, it doesn't matter to me.

Ppl have been sending some good info on their monitors . I was wondering if

we couldnt have folder in the files sections where ppl could submit an

evaluation of their monitors. Say 6 months from now I need a new monitor I

could go check files and see what ppl liked and didnt like. What cha think?

Good idea. Ya know I was also wishing people would post some of the

great links they send out in the links section too. Lot of times, I

don't have time to look at them and would love to go back later.

Later I forget it or can't remember where or who posted the link.

Hmmmm. Maybe I had better go check the links. It just dawned on me

that I haven't looked lately. LOL

Perhaps a simpler method of providing this information would be to

conduct a periodic poll to record which meters are in use by the

members of this group. While not a particularly scientific approach,

this would, at least, offer new members some " real world " information

as to which meters are more prevalent. Repeating the poll at six-

month or one-year intervals would keep the data current and would

allow a simple trend analysis of the meters which have gained or lost

in usage from poll to poll. Of course, this approach presumes that

people are fairly well satisfied with the meters they use, which may

or may not be true.

Anyway, just a thought ...
