We all know it's Thanksgiving
I'm not having 2 dinners but I'm going to one at 3PM. So I ate breakfast and lunch really early but I'm worried about tonight. (Although I'll probably be high after eating the pie.) You could skip ...

Yes they do I said.
No, now they cover Accuchek and Touchtell(?).
So it's Friday and they faxed my doctor. Hopefully I'll be able to get the new ones Monday but will have to buy a new meter.
Has this happened to anybody else? Pharmacist told me the insurance does this without any warning.

Thorntons do a range of diabetic choc/toffees which are good here in the UK x

Robyn said… - Hi and hope you have a nice weekend. The eating and insulin factor takes time to figure out....some foods make sugars go up faster and longer and others will spike and then drop...you may have different insulin amounts depending on the carb, just have to test and then increase humalog to each carb, food. I just takes time and practice. You will get the hang of it.
Baby steps and trial and error is all, we all do it and never perfectly!
I wish you well, and have a good wekend
