    Does anyone wear an insulin pump? If you don't, do you have any questions about they work or affect your life? I offer my assistance in educating you about pump therapy and in finding the right insulin pump for you.

    Does anyone know the pin-out for a datalink cable to connect the dataport of the OneTouch Glucose meter to a 9-Pin Serial port on a PC. I'm trying to build one for my wife's meter so she can download to her software program.

    I quit drinking about five weeks ago. I used to drink beer every night. I am glad I quit and I don't plan on returning to my old habbits. Question....I have been feeling lightheaded, shaky, weak the last couple of weeks. Could this be low blood sugar?

    I am in my forties. Type II diabetic. Have the disease for 10 years now. I try to keep --not always successfully -- my blood sugar levels under control through balanced diet and exercise.

    I monitor my blood sugar levels using a LifeScan One Touch II glucometer -- manufacturer Johnson & Johnson. In India where I live, the test strips dont come cheap. In fact they are so heavy on my purse that I am forced to limit my use of the glucometer.

    Would any one reading this make a gesture of sending me some quantities of test strips (LifeScan). I know for a fact that in the US and elsewhere the strips are quite cheap, only I do not know anyone close enough who would be willing to send them.

    Thanks for your help.
