This is the trouble we have.  Our glucometers were not even designed for
being used on babies!  My question was,then why the #$&! are we using
them?!?  How many of you are using the good old test strips on babies versus
these expensive and inaccurate machines?  An if you have a protocol that you
would like to share please do!!!
