Pssst.... pass it on!

I just wanted to stop by to see if you've done your Big Blue Test Today. Dont' forget that every time you log a Big Blue Test $5 is donated to diabetes charities that are providing life-saving supplies and services.

If you haven't yet, go log a Big Blue Test at http://www.bigbluetest.org/. If you have, do another!

Hi, thanks for the friends add. I really enjoyed your blog. I hope that you had a great day yesterday and wish you a happy rest of the week.

Hi Kim. Thanks for adding me as a friend. I just visited your blog. It's great! Cheers! Joanne

Thanks! I'll definitely tell my family doctor about him as an option. We're both unhappy with the guy I'm currently seeing.

Me again. Yes, I live in Montreal and yes I am thinking about the pump. I was hoping to get the Omnipod to avoid the tubing but my brother after also over 30 years of injections switched to the medtronic pump and loves it. I have gastroparesis and my endo feels if i can get better control of my sugars I may see improvements in my symptoms which are severe. Once I confrim that I am switching to the pump I will certainly pick your brain for advice (even if different pump). Thanks for the offer. Ps...My younger brother (the only non-diabetic in our family) lives in Belleville, Ontario and my dad who is diabetic since he is 1 years old and is now 71 lives in Toronto as well as my sister in law so no stranger to Ontario.

Maybe they take you over to the Lift Lock? That's the Big One, anyway, but the other 7 (?) are pretty cool too - testament to human ingenuity getting from one level to another. Fascinating to watch... and we met some interesting people in those locks - some local celebrities and Global newscasters etc. They can't run away! I probably enjoying 'driving' most - negotiating the canals and harbours in a vehicle with no brakes is a learned technique and I (eventually) got pretty good at it.... enough that someone told my hubby "The guy driving that boat is pretty dang good!" and my hubby answered "I'll say - that guy is my wife!" We even let the blind guy 'drive' for awhile! Was he ever thrilled! Not a lot of pressure on them 'high seas' - just pull up to something solid, drop anchor and go for a swim. ... sorta like the Queen does on the Britannia! right!
Maybe the night out with your friends will get you 'hooked' and leave you wanting more! It wasn't all that pricey back then but I'm sure it's considerably more cost now. I wonder if people have to pay to use the locks yet. Always wondered why 'they' didn't capitalize on that little market even then. The grandkids might like it too! Stony Lake is my fave - even had a nice little Anglican church there with a minister we knew from Cobourg staying the month 'on loan'. Good memories.

Hey Kim - have you tried houseboating on the Trent-severn? When hubby worked with mentally handicapped adults in Port Hope and Cobourg, we would rent one of those big ole houseboats and cruise up the locks system, stopping at all the harbours - especially those with the required DQ! It's a fun and lazy holiday on the water and our charges really loved it too.

Hi kim! Thanks for the friend add!
