But yes I should enjoy more out-side time when the weather is like today, not too cold and the sun is out. I went to get some labs done this morning, took bus down and back and enjoyed the sunlight. But they took about 8 or 9 viles of blood, this new doc is really good and is brand new to town. Everyone I've talked to really likes him and he is certainly better than the last (I hate to say it) bitch didn't care if I was alive or not or even in serious pain like in my right foot. I have a few sergery technics I could use on her but at least I'm done with clinics and have a regular GP who cares. Take care, Gus

Kelly Rawlings said… - Hi, Virgil. Great suggestion to do an article about living well with diabetes on low income! We've feature some tips before, but not in one article. We're researching patient assistance programs currently and hope to publish info on those soon. Thanks very much for the suggestion. And if you have specific tips, I'd love to hear them! Glad to have "met" you at tudiabetes.

You asked what the blue and white things are in my Scarey Hypo image; they are what is torn off of the needle tops which I then screw onto my insulin pens so that I can inject myself.

- Hi Virgil, doing well and trying to keep away from the N1H1 deal. I spend a lot of time inside away from any contact with people. I guess it is mainly due to my Cymbalta I take, but as any thing else just enjoying visiting with everyone on different areas. Take care and hope to hear from you when you get a chance.
