Well, Today I just found out my insurance does NOT cover the Omni Pod! Oh well....it stinks but at least my insurance covers every OTHER pump except the Omni Pod. I say covers but my Mom still has to come up with a big down payment. The insurance only covers like 80% and my Mom has to pay 20% up front. It's a lot of money....I am trying not to be so down about the situation . I am excited though to be able to get another choice of a pump. I kinda like the mini med pump because it can say what your blood sugar is. That way you do not have to prick your finger. With the Omni Pod you would HAVE to prick your finger.
In two days it will be my one year anniversary with DIABETES! WOW! It feels like it has been ten years! After a while (like a month) It feels like you have had it forever! Funny huh? Sometimes I look at people eating and think, Wow I wish I could just eat and not have to take a shot or count carbs or even prick my finger. But then I can look at someones meal and think how many carbs are in that meal.Can you do that? The one good thing about diabetes is you do math everyday so it makes you smarter and gives you more knowledge about diabetes and that way you can correct people who don't know or who think they know it all! On November 17, I would appreciate all of you to please wear purple (purple is diabetes awareness color ) to make others aware of people who have to live with diabetes and to say it is my ONE year anniversary! Thank you! Until tomorrow....
