I took the liberty of downloading your video from youtube and uploading it here (DC) so that all could see the importance of testing to help maintain a healthy and productive life while living with diabetes.

Here's also a video I did not long ago explaining the FIVE main tests that every diabetic should have & monitor on a regular basis: A1C, cholesterol, blood pressure, microalbumin (for kidney health), and annual eye exam: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9tagUNU5TA
