    Hi Tori_Scope,

    I manage quite well with diabetes providing I can keep stress levels down! Stress can send my blood glucose into crazy mode. 

    I manage my condition with the Freestyle sensor and beeps if blood glucose goes out of range, this helps tremendously.

    Thank you for asking?

    Hi @L_Volunteer,

    I'm feeling pretty good thank you for asking and I'm very glad I have found this forum because how friendly, kind, considerate and understanding everybody has been and this also includes your self.

    I am always a survivor and never a victim and this mentality helps me bounce back when I face the odd 'challenge' now and again?
