How do I find out which ones are best and once I do find out can I buy it or do I just have to take whatever is shoved at me by the pharmacy or the doctor?
- Does the doctor prescribe a specific kind or brand of glucose monitor and insulin pump depending on your age?
- If your Dr gives you a prescription for an insulin pump do you have a choice of what brand and where you get it?
- Do you shop around your local pharmacies or online for your monitors?
- How do I know if my insurance will only cover certain brands of monitor?
- How do I find out about the different available devices from some impartial source, someone who isn't earning comission?
- Is there a "must have" glucose monitor brand?
Being told I have diabetes was enough of a shock now I have to find out all this new stuff.

Christmas is coming and I like to make stuff for my family, you know cookies and things then put them into a pretty basket. It is a nice cheap way of giving them something personal.
This year i have a problem, my step dad just found out that he is diabetic and he is saying he can't eat anything at all and it is making him miserable. I don't want to leave him out of what has become a family tradition just because he is diabetic, so what do I do?
Where can I find recipes for cookies and cakes that are diabetic friendly? I am also a bit worried that the items that I need to buy will be super expensive, so if you can show me some diabetic recipes for items that won't cost me a fortune that would be great.
