Captain replied to Captain's discussion 'Insurance. Advice very much appreciated!'"I agree that the better option would be to stay at the job. The bigger problem isn't the paycheck. It's that I can no longer physically do the job and they are not willing to work with me so that I CAN."
Spock replied to Captain's discussion 'Insurance. Advice very much appreciated!'"I second Gene. Stay at the job and keep the insurance. It will cost a fortune without it. To buy private insurance is $400-$500 per month. Medicaid is not really an option, as diabetes is not regularly classified as a disability. Do some searches on…"

gene replied to Captain's discussion 'Insurance. Advice very much appreciated!'"I would try to re-evaluate sticking with the current setup of health insurance (or maybe even re-re-evaluate it).

Captain commented on Captain's blog post 'BLAH.'"Thank you guys! I went to the doctor and she suspects dehydration, though I'm not exacttly sure how long it takes to get over that. I've been keeping my bloodsugar normal, and have been drinking sports drinks and water like a fish.…"

Hi everyone. I'm faced with a very difficult problem right now- the possibility of losing my health insurance. As of now I have health insurance through my job, but it has come to a point where I may have to leave that job due to health concerns. I am in South Florida, and I don't know that I have any other insurance options. Medicaid, perhaps? What does a Type 1 Diabetic do to find affordable insurance? I am a college student making low income. I can just afford to pay for my doctor visits…See More
KML commented on Captain's blog post 'BLAH.'"Praying for you. Do you have Blood pressure issues, or an ear ache? Are you keeping hydrated?"
"Glad to know you have a dr. appointment that was going to be my suggestion. Sometimes everything is not Diabetes related but it does affect your disease. Hopefully it is something that can be cleared up quickly with meds...let us know what they find."

For once, I think I'm having trouble with my health that isn't exactly 100% Diabetes related. This is both refreshing, and frustrating at the same time. What's my body's latest trend? Being dizzy all day. This seems to be the case for just the daytime, which means I sleep all day and am up all night because that's when I feel the best. This isn't the best schedule for someone who usually works the tail end of the day, or rather, the middle of the day to the end of the day. This holiday season I…See More
A blog post by Captain was featuredCount HighGlucose strikes again.
Lately I keep having trouble with high bloodsugars, and Ive been feeling just awful. Nausea, headaches, dizziness- all the things that happen to me when I have a high count have been haunting me all week. Mainly it's because I'm on an antibiotic, and those really screw with my bloodsugar. Right now I am stuck at my job, which involves handling a lot of customer service, and I can barely function because I'm waiting for the symptoms of my high count, which I corrected for about an hour ago,are…See More

Ruth replied to Captain's discussion 'Generic Drug BCG Reversing Type 1?'"This drug is also used to treat bladder cancer. It can do wonderful things, but the caution is that it is the tuberculosis virus and, in some people, can cause them to develop tuberculosis. Not sure if I, personally, would want to take that…"

I was so excited the day after easter when I bought one on clearance for 99 cents.. only to discover that the whole thing had about 200g of carbs in it. I'm still working on finishing it. :( Have a great weekend!
