"I've finished my box of MM sensors that expired in September, now using some that expired in January, all were pretty spot-on...IOW, nothing outside of the normal variation. These puppies are too valuable to just toss, so I use 'em. Most…"

Really approved now for CGMS!!

Coolness with Monarch!!

Monarch family health care is the co-insurer I moved to in the CalOPTIMA network. They have got all the things they needed from my doc and I, and I'm 100% approved for CGMS sensors.

I get my first box of sensors from MM and CCS Medical tomorrow.

Already got the call from Minimed to say they're on the way, so this is wonderful!!

New Doctors, new endo, new network, close labs, Man, it's all Rock & Roll from here on :-D

Carrying Medical ID/Wearing Medical ID. Do you?

Posted on July 26, 2009 at 7:54pm 12 Comments

The other day at work, an Employee passed out on the floor.



No, not diabetes, not any known condition. They had been treaded for a bad spider bite, and apparently had a reaction to the meds they were given in the urgent care. Other than falling on the slate floor and some bruising, they'll be OK.



This got me to thinking though, I am a Cheapskate. I used to belong to Medic-Alert and so on, but remembering to update ever-changing meds can get away from me. So, I had the… Continue

Hiding away from the D? WHY?

Posted on July 16, 2009 at 1:36pm 27 Comments

My main question: Should we hide our diabetes from the world... while asking for more research Funding??



I got a tweet from someone in Canada who says he gets 'angry' at people who accomplish things & then say they have diabetes. I said "We should be visible if we are asking for research $$ for a cure."

He says he; "...doesn't mind scientists putting research for a cure on the back burner for now." as he says; "we have the most easily manageable 'disease' (!!) one could… Continue

I am 'poor' being on CalOPTIMA (California's form of 'Medicaid). But I do pay my bills, I have a little job and can eat, So I'm being both literal and facetious.



As of July 1st, My kind of people (Medicaid recipients) will no longer be able to get Dental, Optemetric, Podiatric or psych, speech et al in the Medi-Cal System.



I saw my dentist this last month, I have new glasses from April. but as a PWD, the podiatrist is a necessary part of my care. I think I'm a tad… Continue

Thanks folks, I'm staying in with my eye patched to keep it shut. Got a scratch on it somehow, and it was getting sore.

Best thing is to keep it gunked up and rest a lot.

This will be an eventful year, last one b4 Medicare at 55 UGH. I will need my pump and CGMS. Hope their coverage changes thru this year in favour of it.
