great digest
Well, the nice thing about a 58 bg at 2am is there’s something to read
while waiting for it to rise!
Today’s digest was a fun one — so many things to reply to. Jan and
Scott, thanks for the frozen-shoulder info & ideas…I’m gonna look for
an acupuncturist after Christmas vacation, because it sounds like
there’d be no problem combining herbs (which shouldn’t cost much) with
physical therapy (which my insurance pays for). What the heck, I’ll
take anything I can get!
Gail, your mention of "getting lost in the cracks" is heartbreaking. I
think you’re right, and boy does it seem unfair. It’s like there’s
nobody from whom to demand restitution, but there sure OUGHT to be.
Mary, I tried pumping in the mid-80s same as you did, and gave it up as
soon as my baby was born (he’ll be 15 on Wednesday). The biggest
changes since then are that the new plastic cannula is more flexible so
it doesn’t hurt once it’s inserted, the pump is about half its former
size, you can bolus in 1/10ths of a unit, AND (far and away the best
part) this chat loop is full of great support. It helps so MUCH to have
real people who’ve been through the sme questions, right there as close
as your keyboard.
Patrick, I can’t wait to see the answer to your "gadget" quiz…the only
thing that’d make me happier would be a slice of Sharon’s pastor’s
coconut cake!
