A thread started on the insulin pumper’s list about how some doctors don’t prescribe pumps … and I decided to go to the best source I knew.

This is good news for those of us who want to use more modern medical devices…
The main thing holding back the Continous Blood Sugar Monitors, new pumps, etc., is meeting FDA requirements and getting approved.
Hopefully this will help!

Good weekend continues…
In addition to teaching 6 different subjects
… okay, with computer science I always teach 4 different subjects, but that’s my choice… I’ve been taking two master’s levels courses to get additional certification. I got A’s in both classes. Not bad. These have been almost 100% online — there were two face-to-face meetings for the one class.
Finishing these two classes, put me in line for getting my district to pay for a master’s degree (in CECS). Boring, but it’s a master’s. Most of the other districts around here want them. It looks good on the school stats, etc.
This also means I’m triple certified — computer science, technology apps, and mathematics. The good news, is the certifications are all recognized shortages.
So it’s been a good weekend. And maybe I can start breathing.
Husband was even walking around the house without crutches last night, and seemed to have a close to normal gait (yeah, that’s been the biggest OTHER issue — he broke his hip about 11 weeks ago.
He’s going out of town to Shreveport to gamble, which is a major breakthrough. The thought of sitting/driving that far has not been attractive to him.
I’ve got one week of classes, one day of classes + 4 days of finals and winter break.

Awesome Day!
Having been posting much “personal” stuff, because I feel like I’m whining … but had an awesome day yesterday.
Went to a very small agility trial with Marcie and she Qed and took first place in Jumpers With Weave and in Standard.
Woke up today with horrible heel spur pain in the left foot, but was able to work most of it out by the time I really got out of bed.

And we continued the good
And we continued the good weekend with a third first place and Q.
Foot got the better of me though.

This is one of the things that drives me nuts.
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.
