how come you are so fortunate? you must have great insurance or live somewhere on another planet. where i am, 1 vial of novolog costs $400, give or take. after my insurance, my copay for 2 vials is $95. no kidding.maybe we can come to an agreement šŸ˜‰ (which insulin do you use??? ) ---

Iā€™m in Canada, using Fiasp. Itā€™s not covered by the provincial government yet, but two boxes of penfills (equivilent to three vials) costs me $140. Then I submit to the insurance I have through my work, who covers 80% of that cost, so in the end I pay about $28. All medical costs in the US are so outrageous. šŸ˜¢ ---

I always do the BG guessing game before testing. It helps me to be more conscious of my BG instead of just relying on the meter. So tonight when running, I guessed 82 and it was 75. My wife looked at it and laughed at me and said, ā€œYou suck. You are way off!ā€ (joking, of course). The thought occurred to me - if I ever die and she remarries another diabetic, I feel sorry for that guy. ---

Not this time: the phone was to the left, he was on my lap, the CGM on my upper right arm. I expect a signal lose any time I wear it on my abdomen and he stretches out on my mid-section. šŸ˜ø ---

I just read a summary of a dissertation about artificial pancreases. This summary, written in Dutch, contained a very intriguing phrase, which roughly translated means something like "ā€¦ type 2 diabetes (diabetes that arises during life) ā€¦" Was I _dead_ when I developed T1D?! šŸ¤£ ---

I was pissed after lunch because of a high BG, so I did an IV injection. I created a new BG tag and tagged it. My next endo appointment, I am going to let them download my Glooko report and see it. What are they going to do, take away my syringes? Stop prescribing insulin? Not let me be a diabetic anymore? ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/d/dff181b9304d7d604a2628eaffb55c293002f543.jpg) [Previous page](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/random-d-thoughts/1439.md?page=8) [Next page](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/random-d-thoughts/1439.md?page=10)
