It seems that BCBS is now coming CGMS for Type 2 Insulin pump users and that I met their medical criteria. That still doesn’t mean that I will be covered, so I’m getting a 3 month starter kit which I am not to open until I get my EOB. Then we’ll do training and I’m set.
No that doesn’t mean that I will be retiring Dulce – it’s just another tool in the toolkit.
While I am setting up a WordPress site for my breeder, I really believe in Typepad – they came to the table first via Moveable type, and I love their service.
So today, I am playing with this Blog / Account and turning it into a full website, that includes a blog to prove proof of concept. Frankly finding it a touch easier than WordPress, and I think it will be easier to turn over to the user.
Hey, the more tools in the toolbox, the better.
A1C is staying in the high 7s and its because I am not testing, so I am going to give CGMS testing a try, even though I doubt insurance will cover.
I do have a Metronics pump, so its just the sensor cost.
We just pushed all the buttons to get it rolling.

My service dog is a beagle. They don't put up with much nonsense. Years ago, my Peppermint Patty, a 12" tall hunting beagle was a therapy dog.
She suffered through patients throwing her across the room and other indignities but she would not wear clothing. We tried a hat once, it lasted two minutes, she pulled it off and tore it up. The clown costume lasted longer but only because I and the border
collie were similarly dressed and I was ready this time.
The retriever, lab or golden, is the "duh, gee coach," of the dog world and is happy to do whatever his stupid owner wants. That doesn't mean you should. Leave the poor dog alone, let him wear his vest in piece and keep the graduation regalia to yourself.
Any self respecting beagle will agree. Bet you it is hot under that gown too.
And yeah, there is a picture of Dulce in safety goggles. She needs them but won't wear them, she helps me mentor a robot team and its not the same at all.

There is one in the car, but guess who packed everything but a meter….. this is why extra supplies are stashed in strategic places.
I have a meter and emergency sugar.
It has dropped a bit with the new pump, but seems to have leveled out to 7.9
Would like to get it back into the 6s but can’t seem to do that.
Come to find out, one of the people on our ADA committee has a daughter at the school next door – literally. The daughter will be attending our high school next year, and is a 9th grader at our middle school.
Since Dulce has done so well at Hillcrest, they have been allowing other service dogs, mostly alert dogs. The committee member thanked me for showing them it was possible.
Pretty cool.
Used my Swivl and my iPod Touch to make it, came out pretty good. Hardest part was figuring out how to get it on the Moodle site.
I also have some access information up.
I’ve decided to make it a subscription model – most of the dog training I do is that way – I pay my dog agility instructor by the month to reserve my training slots. I also put an unsubscribe button and have set up a trial subscription (but still pay).
I’m planning to set up a badge system, so you can earn badges for earning skills. I also plan to set up things to help people with things like public and work access. I’ve learned a lot this year about that.
It’s at http://www.mykweaver.com/diabetesAlert/
I have the online course site up too but no lessons yet.
Good opportunity to help the public, review our training and finance some school projects.
