Hi Joanne. I have a few diabetes blogs bookmarked, so in reading Bitter-Sweet, I found the info on dblog week. Thanks for mentioning it. Seven blogs sounds daunting, but maybe one or two... How about you?!!!

thanx peetie...sorry it took so long to start making frieds.

I forgot to add that I hope you are having a great week also! I think I better make another pot of coffee!

Thanks Joanne! It is a quiet week here. Got some cleaning done yesterday - I think if I just ran the sweeper and sucked up cat hair, I wouldn't really have to clean but .... I went this morning for a hair cut & shopping.

Don't even THINK of having that doughnut below ;p

Hey Peetie! My bg is back to "normal"...but the virus has settled in my lungs and is aggravating my asthma, but still going to work.... can't afford the work that piles up when you're off for too many days! Am going to the doc today. Hope you have a superb day.
It's raining cats and dogs here (and a variety of other small critters)!!

Thanks Peetie,Your so kind.lol

Peetie, hi there, hope you are enjoying the last days of fall - they have been beautiful here in Alberta. I am trying to learn about how to manage my body and insulin needs, my morning BG levels are pretty good now but need to do a better job with my food. Now that I am on insulin I find it is more manageable if I only eat 3 meals a day. So Peetie, are you maintaining a strict carb controlled diet? JDRIDGE.

Thanks Joanne! I presume it will smoke the flatlines!

And back atcha with the belated birthday wishes! Nobody can say we don't live on that same tardy wavelength! Hoping your day was the best you've had since you were ten years old !

Thanks! Haven't had this many happy birthdays since I was ten years old!

I am back to normal Joanne. I was going to get a new A1c last week but I lost my slip - my doctor gives me one for a year so I can just go. Have no idea what I did with it. I remember putting it someplace safe but I can't remember where that is!

Thanks for the birthday wishes - glad you like the poems! :)

Thank you very much!

Hi Joanne. I read your comment early this AM before coffee and almost forgot to comment back! Today was a better day and I tried not to think about the past - at least I didn't cry today.

Hi Joanne. Windy and rainy here, taking down even our green leaves. We hiked along the Maumee River last weekend, and it was absolutely gorgeous. Still today is perfect for a nice cozy glass of wine, maybe a little guacamole -- Cheers!

Have a great day Joanne ♥

Oh my gosh, I didn't even know! Thanks Joanne, glad I've provoked some useful discussion, I know it help me out!

Hi Joanne. I already lost round one before I even started. When I called my insurance company last weekend, the guy I talked to said he had to put a note in for the pharmacy department to return my call and they would give me whatever I needed to actually make the request. He later called back with a phone number for me to fax the request to. This morning some guy from the pharmacy department called to tell me that my request was denied. Apparently the customer service guy put it thru as just a request for the exception. Of course they would deny it because there was nothing to support why I needed it. I decided that instead of faxing it (which is a pain for me because I have to get someone to take me and nothing is close), I am going to send a letter to their appeals department. I want to make sure all my i’s are dotted & t’s crossed because there are several levels of appeals. Most of the plans will cover both doctors and hospitals, but there are some that you can get that only cover drugs. I need one that covers doctors & hospitals.
