My meter (Medisense optium) also measures blood ketones.

I keep a small pack of urine glucose strips in case I run into

trouble with the meter. I did a few months ago when I packed my bag

too tightly and broke the LCD display...

The manufacturers are great - sending a replacement out by express

post, but I really could not do with it for that amount of time.

So in the cupboard at home I have a small pack of urine test strips,

and a spare insulin pen - that way I am covered against equipment

breakdowns..

Regarding being 'proactive', its not just about Diabetes but life in

general. Go out and MAKE things happen rather than wait for them to

happen to you. I think a sportswear company has a slogan 'life is not

a spectator sport'.
