Just another reminder for us to check our BG before we drive (a blood sugar of 11 !!!) and for officers to check for diabetes. Wow... I'm keeping a test kit in the car now all the time.

some insulin pumps are waterproof and you can swim with them. I know that the Omnipod is safe to swim in, and there are others on the market too.

Jackie Robinson was a type-1 but wasn't diagnosed until after he retired, and ended up dying from complications. Jay Cutler is also a type-1.

Hi Barbara: It's Good to hear from you. Sorry!
I've had the Flu forever...so I'm late.

Ha! You are like us with all the paper work.
Why do you have to go to court? Gee, I'm
Glad that you found the proof that you need
and didn't throw it away also. That usually
helps to win the case.

Is that YOU? Why is your photo way down
below the cats? I thought it was some long
lost 3rd Cousin of yours on your Mother's side,
or something. :D

Well, I always thought that my Sister was
pretty. She is many years older than you
though if that is a recent pic of you.

She loved wearing black t-shirts also. I like
wearing most colours of t's. She had bought
me a red one many years ago with black
lettering that said "Classy Broad" on the front.
As a joke, she also had the Guy put "Tart" in
black lettering on the back. I didn't realize it
was there until my Husband asked, "What's a
Tart"? Smart-A$$! :D I wore it anyways.

I hope that you feel Well Barbara. :o)

Hi Barbara

thanks for the comments and support.

They gave me the preventave medicine (Yea it tastes like crap and smells like rotten eggs) and they give me the shots int he belly and all the stuff but my kidneys are so damaged from having three of the angiograms in less than 7 months and it took the kidneys right out even with preventave stuff. They dont want ot do it at all now unless they have too, and I am somewhat feelign that they might have to here in the near future.

Everything just feels liek crap right now, I hate the feeling.

there is a new discussion in Diabteic Complications Group I think you should go check out. :o)

I hope your doing ok and the stuff your doing with allthe record searching is goign smooth.

I wish you well

Robert

hi Barbara - Happy Spring! ooof I wouldn't want to see a pile of all my old syringes, lancets, and misc. it would be a big pile by now, yea?

I am very fortunate with my current medical and prescription coverage - it's the benefit of working for a big company I guess. I have to see what's going to change now for me with the new system, but I don't think much.

take care!!

Hi Barbara:

How goes it for you today? Way better, I hope. I actually like the colour of your page...it just surprised me the other day. Thanks for the comment about mine.

Hey, Nice photos you have there. Who is
the Lady in the black T? She looks like my Sister when she was younger.

Take Good Care Barbara. :o)

Hi Barb yes we do forget about sex here too...I think you have a valid point about doctors some do seem like they know it all..I think instead of being quick to judge I think they should walk a day in our shoes. The highs, the lows and everything in between.

I guess i did not realize James j was your husband. LOl I am glad he came on. glad I got him to laugh as well. I had seen on his profile that when asked what he was looking for his answer was "his wife" and I coudl not help but chuckle myself. :)

I would say your scared part of driving and skidding around woudl come from the cars of nowdays. Very few are as ballanced as your 70's cougar was. it was made for sliding and spinng and going really fast! :)

I miss them too, work on them on spare time when I can, but dont get a chance to do much lately with the heart attack and where I live, someday though, I hope to have a shop and a differnt house that I can do that when ever I want too. Dreams.

I need to do a bit of blogging, just when I get depressed, I get locked up and nothing comes out very well. it happens.

I wish you well

Robert
