Do you lot accept whatever tips?

Diabetes makes me exercise that affair where I’m ever checking. 

Checking to come across if I accept plenty insulin in addition to other meds; checking to come across if I accept my centre attached to my mortal earlier I walk out the door, in addition to immediately checking to come across if I accept my PDM because I’m currently podding. 

Checking to come across if I accept plenty exam strips on my mortal in addition to inward my stash. 

Checking to come across if I accept plenty centre supplies. 

Checking to come across if I accept plenty juice; juice boxes, glucose tabs, in addition to regular nutrient inward my house. 

Checking to brand certainly I accept glucose tabs, or other depression treats inward my car.

Checking out the latest diabetes related studies, news, in addition to the likes in that place of. 

Checking for lilliputian signs of diabetes burnout earlier they live on large signs.

Then there’s the newspaper run required for all of the above, checking to come across if my insurance non entirely covers certainly med/supply, etc.,making certainly RXs are upward to date, doctors appointments are scheduled. 

Then in that place are things I shouldn't fifty-fifty accept to banking concern tally for, but must -  because someone else didn't do their job. Case inward betoken - making certainly my insurance companionship covers the correct copay. 

Since I switched upward my excogitation on March 1, my insurance companionship has charged me my quondam 60/40 co-pay for 2 dissimilar prescriptions instead of my electrical flow 80/20 co-pay. 

That's a big damn difference.

Guess who was the ane to figure it out? 

Guess who was the ane who spent 2 hours on the telephone trying to create it the get-go fourth dimension in addition to sixty minutes on the telephone the 2d fourth dimension making certainly it was fixed? 

But dorsum to checking. 

Checking blood sugars, checking for ketones, checking to brand certainly I accept extra everything earlier I exit the door in addition to start my day. 

.

Most days it doesn’t bother me because the checking has live on 2d nature in addition to I've figured a agency to streamline my prep check. 

I accept a cool looking (and slightly bigger than my 6+ iPhone when inward it’s otterbox,)size brightly colored/insulated pocketbook I purpose for my diabetes.

I continue my PDM; meter (which I don’t choose now, because I tin banking concern tally my blood saccharide via the PDM,) exam strips, pump/pod supplies, K-Tape, insulin, backup batteries. 

But fifty-fifty amongst streamlining, in that place are nevertheless or then days when diabetes in addition to checking throws me for a loop - similar if my blood sugars are wonky, or if I’ve run out of exam strips, or left something D related on the counter.... at home....or at the restaurant I've simply left. 

When that happens, I experience similar I too forgot to banking concern tally for my sanity earlier I left the house, because I clearly experience similar it's missing. 

And on those days when I experience equally if I’ve checked for my sanity a 1000000 times in addition to can’t locate it to salve my life - I’m glad I accept the Diabetes Online Community, DSMA, in addition to my diabetes peeps.

“Checking out,” in addition to taking a few minutes to read a weblog post, chat on twitter, or text amongst a D friend - that makes all the difference. 

That correct in that place is the best medicine - in addition to I give thank you lot you guys for it.
