He did give us a new test meter and strips, but I wish I knew the problem I was going to have when I went to pick them up. I had to fill out paperwork, come home and get hubby's insurance cards, the pharmacist questions the quantity, and then I had to pay almost 60.00 for them on top of the other meds I had to pickup between it all close to 300.00 dollars. Supposedly there is a deductible on the test strips and our supplemental insurance doesn't pay. Needless to say I was not a happy camper.
We normally test 4 times a day, but if he has a low blood sugar then it is more. We had one of those last night for some reason. I said that he didn't eat enough, but then that shouldn't have been with everything that he ate. A lot depends on whether the liver is working or not.
The sun did come out tonight, but the low temperatures of a morning is a bummer. That 70-90 degree weather spoiled you even though we didn't have it that long. We are suppose to get down to freezing next week. Everything is bloomed out way to early.
My heart goes out to our friends in Texas and other areas that had the bad weather. Tornadoes are not fun and living in what is called tornado alley you never know when one is going to pop up. Our weather has sure been weird.
Our youngest grandson was decorating cupcakes at his other grandma's house for Easter. He was also going to color eggs because it was a no school day.
Tomorrow he is spending the day with his dad and I don't know what all they have planned. They are meeting mom for lunch because she has to work.
One doctor visit down and 4 left to go this month. You all take care and have a wonderful weekend.

Have a beautiful Easter filled with every blessing! Hugs to you my friend!
What a lot of money to have to pay out of pocket for meds. They must feel he has stabilized somewhat if they didn't change his meds.
I hope you have a nice day tomorrow. Sounds like your grandson will be having fun with dad and lunch with Mom. Blessings- Diana
Happy Easter Sweet Shirley!!

Wishing you a Happy Easter my friend!
Going to the pharmacy can be nerve wrecking while you wait for the price of each medication to pop up. Our doctor said he thought a medicine he prescribed might be very expensive. We got there and we're waiting for that huge amount. But it was $20. On pins and needles at the pharmacy!
Anyways , have a lot of fun for Easter! Enjoy the family!

Hi Shirley...

Hi Shirley, I am so sorry to hear you had to pay so much for everything. Where does it end right? My mother was a diabetic and I know too well the ups and downs for sugar control and all the testing that goes on daily.
Thank you for stopping by and your kind words and thoughts about the tornado's here in Texas. The rebuilding will be on going for so many.
Wishing you a special Easter my friend.
Love from Texas, Celestina Marie
