Oh dear me.  I sent you this same message.  I didn't think others would send
it too.  I am so sorry.  I won't send such things in future because they
will be sent ahead of me.  Just delete.

Hi Carol,
I am not Pat but that never stopped me from opening up my big mouth.  I have
a friend who uses this glucometer and he loves it.  It is new and is priced
very much in line with the glucometers that sighted people use.
Virgie and Hoshi
