   Pills, liquids, injectables.  Also bring any nutritional  or herbal supplements and “Over  the Counter” medications

   It is very helpful for you to write in explanations for lows or highs, such as exercise, illness etc.
4. Remember to do your blood work at least one week prior to your diabetes visit
   This will ensure that your results will be available to discuss
