Hi Ron,
Sorry you must join us in our wonderful world of diabetes. I have alot of
great stuff you may be able to use. I also have some applications that track
the things you mention. And a good friend of ours, Justin Lucy did a
spreadsheet for me that you'll love, it helps to track everything. I'll get
with you in the next couple days to send you what I got. In the meantime,
don't worry yourself too much and just try to learn as you go. TTT
The 2 places on the net I visit often are:
