Pharmaceutical distributors give an incredible amount of insulin to doctors for them to give to patients. Ask your doctor if…"

Zoe replied to Christalyn's discussion 'which insulin to purchase'"Obviously, the ideal, Christalyn is to use both a basal and a bolus insulin.

Chaplain ET said… Sorry to have been so long to reply to your message! As for your comment about me being so dapper in my uniform, I used to say people (in the service) used to say, "Hi Colonel," to my back, and, "Hi Chaplain," to my front! Approaching me from my back they'd see my Lieutenant Colonel's silver leaves, and from the front, they'd see my chaplain's cross! I'd answer to both... Chaplain ET.
