I noticed you where in the area....

Ahmad and I will be having a get together this Friday night at 6pm we would love if you could join us...

Pitchers Lounge10800 Metcalf Ave, (Overland Park Marriott Hotel), Overland Park, KS
This popular, inexpensive restaurant is a sports lover's heaven. Locals find it a great place to get together, have a drink, enjoy a meal and unwind. Located in the Overland Park Marriott, just 20 minutes from downtown, it is worth a short drive for the sporty atmosphere and good food.
Diners can choose from an array of menu items, including pizza, salads, burgers, ribs, steak sandwiches and grilled chicken sandwiches. For those with an appetite, Key Lime Pie, apple cobbler and sundaes top off the meal.

hope to see you there..

Wow. Sounds like you had trouble. I'm sorry! I have those similar issues with my CGM from medtronic. It hurts all the time and is really off in it's readings. So I kind of stopped using it. But I've been keeping my levels quasi-normal. I'm my biggest critic when it comes to diabetes. I was upset last month that my A1c went up to 6%. ha.

Stick in there!!

I did end up getting my pump back in March. So far so good. I still wonder at times if I made the best choice. It's much easier to treat myself in public now but I have the awkward issue of forever being hooked up to a little machine. Summer time bikini's became somewhat of an issue. But I managed. How about you?

Alright! Cool. I hope your numbers adjust for you without too much altering! I actually just got a phone call from Medtronic this afternoon. So I might have a pump sooner than I thought aafterall.

Wow, you were diagnosed on my birthday - I know random. You're starting a pump already? I was looking into it. Let me know how it all works out!
