No candies for MIL

My MIL is diabetic. She uses medication as well as diet to control her sugar level. She tests her blood sugar everyday, sometimes a few times a day, depending what she has eaten. She is very fond of sweet candies and chocolates. Sometimes she can't control herself and steal a chocolate or two. But luckily, it will not increase her blood sugar level that much.

Recently, she found out one of her nephew in Macau has been diagnosed with diabetes too and needed to check his blood sugar daily. She bought a meter kit with several boxes of Freestyle Test Strips and mailed back to her nephew. These items are very expensive in Macau and sometimes they are very difficult to find. May be I can let him know to buy diabetic supplies online, hopefully they do ship to Macau.
