HOW HAVE ADVANCES IN TECHNOLOGY CHANGED THE WAY DIABETES IS TREATED!!!??? QUICK QUICK QUICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
Technology of the past 15 years has given us the personal glucometers so we can actually know what our glucose is at this moment rather than the strip we dipped in urine and guessed at which only gave us the answer that our glucose was under/over 300 mg/dL yesterday!



It has also given us a large range of insulins that we and our doctors can choose from and know that they are going to bring down any slight increase in glucose numbers fast. For those on oral meds, there are a lot of choices in the different medications available.



Diabetes is actually treated now, rather than the guessing that went on previously.
