Boston.com / Business / Study: Higher copayments hurt patients
I really feel like that the doctor and patient should decide on the drug, not the mail order drug service.

Another step towards Continuous Blood Glucose Monitoring

I can’t wait. Besides the pain — even testing 8-10 times a day doesn’t give the whole picture.
I think the feedback along is going to help me choose foods, and avoid complications.

Nice diabetes handbag
aDorn Handbags | High Style, Low Profile
Honestly too small for me with my pump supplies and Palm Pilot, but they have a super product and even better customer service.
They DO honor the 30 day trial period.
I would absoletly love a bigger, tote size of this. The removable medical pouch is great — but like I said, just a tad too small for me.

Pump Pouches
These are SUPER! I’ve been wearing my pump without the clip — works great in a pocket, by the way, and these solve a lot of the problems. I can put the pump in one of these, pin it to my bra and it doesn’t show as much as it does with the pump. However, I sweat on the pump that way, and the pouch solves that problem.
Will try one of the belted ones when it’s pool time.

This article struck a nerve with me…
ACP Observer, November 2003 – Strategies to treat unexplained symptoms
My negative experiences with the medical establishment started when I was young. I have had explained pain when I was a child several different times.
The worst was painful periods. They were so bad, I would vomit and have diarrhea. The doctors I had during the period told my mother to ignore it, it was all in my head.
Oddly enough it wasn’t until my 30’s, I found a cure — depo prevera — and haven’t had a period or a problem for over 10 years now.
I often put up with pain, much longer than I should, since I’ve been told in the past, it was in my head. Thus, I put off carpel tunnel treatment and was absolutely miserable for years. I”ve put on treatment for heel spurs for the same reason — yeah, I’ve got them, feet hurt like heck, and I am having trouble exercising as a result.
I’m vowing to get pain treated sooner these days.
