Endo recommendation in Sydney?!?!

G'day everyone. Any recommendations for an endo in inner west Sydney area? I'm supremely overdue to go! I'd love someone who has the know-how to work with Minimed paradigm and cgms. I've got a few names to start with - but real-world (well, virtual) recommendations are always welcome.See More

Your Tu Diabetes - A Social Network for Diabetics Box

One must have chaos within, from there a dancing star shines forth. -Nietzche

I find "are you diabetic?" a rather limiting question, especially when I could label myself as a: temporary Sydneysider, ex-pat, researcher, doctoral student, designer, artist, painter, poet, teacher, animal fan, writer, yoga student, mummy (practitioner of "natural" parenting), sister, aunt, daughter, daughter-in-law, biker, skater, world traveler, gardener, knitter, musician, philosopher, very occasional comedian, dreamer, mobile-maker, happily married women who ALSO happens to have diabetes - these, plus living with diabetes, make for a far more apt description of me.

Growing baby

Posted on May 21, 2009 at 5:37pm 2 Comments

Hi everyone!



Just wanted to keep you all posted that I'm moving right along in my first pregnancy - I'm almost 21 weeks now. I announced the news to my family this past week and they are very happy to hear the news. The surprise reveal after a day of traveling on planes across the country went very well. My parent's took us out to dinner when we landed, to celebrate my birthday. After we ate, I gave my mom a belated mother's day gift. She's a big reader and is coming to New Zealand… Continue

The BIG NEWS is being leaked!

This is an exciting moment...drum roll please...my husband and I are having a BABY!! Yes, I am 12 weeks pregnant and finally feel confident in the tenacity of my new little spud that I'm willing to share it with all of you! (Just don't tell my mom or dad yet, we'll be telling them in person when we see them in May - I want to save them a few months of worry about my health). See our 12-week ultrasound scan in my slideshow above. So cute! Baby was shrugging, stretching, jumping about in there,… Continue

BREAKING CGMS NEWS!! Tenacity WINS!! DECISION OVERTURNED!!

Posted on August 8, 2008 at 10:43am 6 Comments

My 13 month-long fight with my insurance company has taken a beautiful turn for the better. The third level of my appeal process was sent to an independent review organization (IRO) last month. The list of items sent included 39 documents, ranging from my bg charts, endo's prescription and letter of medical necessity, academic articles and all the previous correspondences I've had with Regence.



I received a letter from the IRO yesterday saying, "It is the recommendation of this… Continue

update update update (my CGMS appeal, again - still)

Posted on June 27, 2008 at 4:32pm 2 Comments

Jenny was kind enough to remind me that my last blog was nearly a year ago. Yikes. Talk about not actually writing a blog! Indeed, it's true when I say that I've been busy with graduate school and yes, appeals. I am all over the appeal process like the summer sun on the garden bed. Regence BCBS may have thought the summer of my request would never arrive, that the cold dark winter of denying me a CGMS was their forever-season. But the seasons always turn, don't they?



But today!!… Continue

not yet, appeal time

Well, the letter arrived from Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield. They've decided to deny my appeal for a pre-authorization for my CGMS. My case rep sent along all sorts of pages explaining, in their words, that any use over 3 days of the CGMS is considered still investigational. Aargh, I'm understandably bummed. Now I need to fill out the 2nd appeal. Three days does indeed give you abit of a pattern-albeit not very consistent, so why wouldn't 10 or 20? Are they just behind the times? Do they… Continue
