Fired Up Friday – High Cost of Diabetes Test Strips

Posted by Chris on Feb 26, 2010 in Fired Up Friday | 7 comments
This week’s edition of Fired Up Friday is something that I know fires up everybody.  The high cost of diabetes testing strips.  Supplies in general are expensive, but I’m just trying to focus on the strips themselves because I think we use more of these than any other supplies.  Do a quick search for “cost of diabetic test strips” or “how much does it cost to make diabetes test strips” and look at the results.  Here is a screen shot from one of those searches and I am amazed by what I find. What did you see?  Did you see anything that actually tells me how much it costs to...

Not So Great Life of a Diabetic Lately

Posted by Chris on Feb 25, 2010 in High Blood Sugar | 0 comments
If you follow The Life of a Diabetic on Twitter, then this post is not going to sound like much of a surprise to most of you.  My blood sugars have been crazy over the past 2 months, even 3.  I haven’t seen my endocrinologist since October, which I was seeing her every month for 6 straight months so I can make changes quite frequently.  There are multiple reasons for these higher blood sugars, but today they come to an end.  Actually, yesterday they did, I didn’t have a blood sugar over 170 all day.  Screw diabetes!  Let’s get into some of the reasons. Diet – Or...

Please Update My URL for Legal Purposes

Posted by Chris on Feb 24, 2010 in Uncategorized | 1 comment
This post is going to be pretty short, but it is extremely important.  As some of you may know I used to blog on a different URL before I switched over to this one in about October.  Well the url that I used to blog under was owned by the company that I formerly worked for.  Long story short, I can’t have you all linking to that anymore. So if you do have a blogroll, please, please, please update it.  There are some legal reasons behind this that I’m not going to get into with the blog.  If you do want to know details, e-mail me and we can discuss it, but let’s just say...

Finally My Cobra Coverage Questions Answered

Posted by Chris on Feb 23, 2010 in Insurance | 6 comments
After having Cobra for 3 months, and not even knowing it, I have finally figured it all out.  I was so confused about the whole situation and couldn’t get a clear answer for a while.  I called Ceridian Benefits, who runs the Cobra program to get some answers.  Here are the questions that I wanted answers to: When does my coverage start? Am I up to date on my payments? Am I covered now? Why does my invoice show a payment for December when it’s not February? What card do I use, what is my member ID? How do I get my diabetes supplies? Well, let’s go into each of these questions, and...

Life of a Diabetic Weekend Recap

Posted by Chris on Feb 22, 2010 in Fired Up Friday, Insulin Pump Problems, Stress | 0 comments
First, I want to thank you all for your feedback, RT’s, and comments from the Fired Up Friday post about drink options.  I am glad to hear that I am not just being a drama queen (or would it be king?) and overreacting to something like this.  Anywho, the weekend was great!  It of course went by way too fast, but I accomplished a lot.  Friday night, Amanda and I were going to see that Shutter Island movie but decided to wait a week or two so there is not as many people there when we go to see it.  I hate being in a crowded movie theater, I don’t like tight spaces.  Plus,...
