Your hand scribble says it all! So many questions come to mind. Were you conscious? Who checked your blood sugar? Were you around people or alone? My sister is a nurse and she gets scared if I tell her I had a low in the 40s. Can't wait to tell her…

I want to turn my iPhone into a glucose meter

Check out this mock up of what it could look like.

I think could be done.

Please comment on my blog because I can respond quicker rather than on this.

Hi Andrew,
I have never worked for Lily. I 've worked for Novartis, Astra Zeneca, Baxter, and Bristol Myers Squibb. Unfortunately BMS would not hold my job for three years. There are alot of laid-off drugs reps in Ft Wayne and we are all looking for the same non-existent jobs. I hope to get a job soon but there's no telling. I could go back to work as an RN. Lutheran Hospital here in Fort Wayne is starting a pancreatic transplant center in a few months. I will apply as a Transplant Coordinator if I don't find a drug rep job. Not only am I a drug rep and RN but I've also had the transplant and researched it thoroughly. I know exactly what these patients are going through. I hope you have a Happy New Year! My husband and I generally stay home even though we get invited to several parties. I haven't drank alcohol in over eight years and my husband doesn't drink either. My friends tend to get trashed so we prefer to stay home. But trust me- every drug company has reps throughout the states not just Lily in Indiana. Take care!
Sincerely,
Colleen Myers

Hi Andrew, welcome. It's good to see another person from MA.

I live north of Boston, but there are many other folks in the US Northeast group here.

If you have any questions just ask, we're friendly round here.
