[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 701152, member: 20054"] Hi LM. So sorry he's put you in an impossible situation again. I too, here in the midwest, am aware that test strips are stolen and sold. What a crazy world, huh? Your son and his family are far away-are you sure much of what they are telling you is true? This certainly would be the thing he would know you wouldn't want him to be without. It is perfectly ok to say no. It seems to me that you've used up your yeses over the years, haven't you? You've done all you could, it's way past time for him to man up. That being said..Contour can be bought ebay for $12 for 50. If you can't say no outright, then how about offering to order strips and send them to him, his response will let you know better what's really going on. $130.00 is a valuable thing to just have "gotten wet", don't you think? Can he go to a clinic and just have his sugar checked there? He has made some really poor choices, you have assisted many times trying to help without success. Rest now, take care of you. Nothing is ever the emergency that they make it to be. He needs to find resources that are not his mother. If you can, make him do that. And....if you can't, we get it. Our fear of "what will happen if we don't" has driven many of us to do things that in the end were unwise for all involved. Hugs to you today. I've been there, you'll get stronger, keep us posted. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
