Hmmmmm…. so after 6 months of fighting, and FINALLY winning “approval” for my continuous glucose monitor from GreatWest health insurance, they are refusing to pay! What the #3!!?!
I have no idea except to call a lawyer about this one. How on earth can they approve the device, agree it is medically necessary, but [...]

Saturday night was The Aspen Fund gala at Jaz B Studios in Denver, held to help raise money for my medical expenses. What an evening and what a turn out! I want to thank every single person who attended. You each hold a special place in my heart.
Aside from seeing a [...]
On Tuesday I started using a new blood glucose meter. I have been using a FreeStyle Flash for several years and absolutely loved it (quite ticked to hear they are no longer making the Flash). In fact a few weeks ago I found a new feature on it that made me fall deeper [...]
This phrase when spoken from my lips strikes a slight fear and a little excitement in my friends. They never know what is going to happen next. That phrase meant we would probably promptly be off shopping (where they would spend their paycheck, but I couldn’t find a darned thing I liked), or [...]
Yesterday, Sunday, (ok, it took me a few days to post this :)) I took my pop to the Taste of Fort Collins where we saw one of my most favorite musicians preform. Angie Stevens! with her band The Beautiful Wreck (what a kick ar$e name!). Angie holds the honor of Best Singer/Songwriter by [...]

I asked one of my good friends for ideas on how to raise some money for my medical expenses. I was thinking, bake sale, selling candy bars, ya know, little things. Some how [...]
I am finding the hardest part of diabetes is ‘remembering’.
I have to remember to check my blood glucose levels:
when I wake up
before every meal
two hours after every meal
before bed
sometimes before driving
sometimes before/after snacks
sometimes at 3 am to make sure I am not sinking into oblivion
every time I turn around
I have to remember to make sure [...]
Searching high and low on the net, it was very hard to find a medical id bracelet that really fit my personality. I finally found Lauren’s Hope and found something that fit my taste. I am fairly plain, but fairly girly, and wanted something kind of classic looking but not too attention grabbing [...]
