  As you know, my wife Janice, who is a type 1 diabetic...recently obtained
a copy of the One Touch Software from Lifescan (I think it's
www.lifescan.org -- not sure)...and she uses that to store her readings.
The thing is...the software is like 30 Megabytes, and you either have to
obtain it via a high speed Internet connection, or have a friend do it, and
burn a CD for you. You could purchase it, and purchase either a serial or
USB cable required for it, depending on your setup...the software is more
expensive than the cable!! But, the program is relatively easy to work with
once it is set up.

  I'd be more likely to get Type 2, if I got it. My main problems are with
hyperlipidemia, G.E.R.D.,  and irritable bowel syndrome right now. The
thing is...the wife can eat anything that won't eat her first...she just
takes extra insulin to compensate, if needed. With my digestive issues,
there are several things I can't eat anymore.
