I've had the FreeStyle and now the FreeStyle 3. I love my 3.
I will note that for my kind of diabetes, it may be unnecessary, but it is fun
to collect data.

Thanks, she is back to chewing my ass so I think she is OK. She has a
continuous glucose monitor now. It appears that she needs a bit more attention
to the problem. In the end it seems to be a good thing but was not fun.

Scary story, but not the first time I've heard about adverse reactions to some
medicines.
Hope that she's OK now.

Was in Spain a few weeks ago. My wife tried to croak on me. Became incredibly
ill one night. One of our daughters finally convinced her she needed an
ambulance (she would not agree to that when I was trying to get her to). Super
high blood sugar, ketones etc. Learned about the “anion gap” that is a measure
of blood acidity. Turns out she had acute diabetic keto acidosis DKA. So we
spent our Barcelona vacation in a hospital there. She got better but they would
not release her. I finally just sprung her and we got home and went directly to
a hospital here. She was stable enough to go home. She set up an appointment
with her Dr and was OK for a week. Just chalked it up to a worsening of her
type 2 diabetes. At the Dr office she became ill again, took her to the ER.
They finally figured out that she is one of the people that Jardiance can kill.
I causes DKA in some people (usually DKA is reserved for type 1 diabetes).
Super scary. So if someone on Jardiance starts non stop vomiting, super (and I
mean super) high heart rate (150) and respiration (100) it could be this. Don’t
think they simply ate something bad or are dehydrated.
