My sugars are probably up and down like Horz Droorz (Just for the record.....That is not the name of an icream company.)

I thought your response sounded a bit odd.  :D

Perhaps your sugars were low.  ;)

"100 strips a year"...............Oops, my feeble mind somehow read that as 100 strips a month. I thought the amount sounded kind of high. :o

So, according to that letter we got, if you're on oral meds or dietary control and your doc says you should be testing, you'd probably qualify for the 100 a year (and it allows for exceptions).

If he was to refer you to the diabetes clinic at the hospital, they might pass some your way too.

100 strips a year? I would be happy, or I mean satisfied, with 30 strips a month. I'm only a diabetic in traing so I'm not on insulin yet. I could cash my empties in, but I haven't fully recovered from that last heart attack yet. Pedalling the 16 blocks to get about $3.00 or $4.00 takes a lot out of me, especially on a very hot summer day. I like to throw carma to the wind and set my empties by the curb for other needy people. Why not sit on the steps and feel good instead of lying on the side of the road and feeling dead?

Riverview Mother Christine Wood charged in connection with 2009 newborn death of Baby Taylor

2013 05 18

A 30-year-old Riverview woman Christine Margaret Wood has been charged in connection with the discovery of the body of a newborn baby boy found on Taylor Road near Monteagle, N.B. in 2009.

On May 18, 2013,  Wood appeared via telephone remand in Provincial Court and was charged with concealing the body of a child. The police allege that the woman disposed of the dead body of her child with the intent to conceal the fact that she had given birth to him.  The police were led to Wood via information received over the course of the investigation. She was arrested in Hillsborough on May 17 without incident.

The newborn’s body was discovered in a snow bank on Taylor Road on April 4, 2009. Riverview RCMP and the RCMP’s Major Crime Unit have been investigating to try to determine the identity of the child and the circumstances surrounding his death.  The baby is legally known as Baby Boy Doe but became known as Baby Taylor in the weeks following the discovery of his body based on the name of the road where he was found.

Christine Margaret Wood was remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear in Moncton Provincial Court on May 21, 2013 at 1:30 p.m. for a bail hearing.

Here ya go....April 4 http://www.monctonforums.com/index.php?topic=404.msg22661#new

100 strips a year...enough for twice weekly. Not much, as I say in the post.

But another 100 (works out less than $2 a week) you could be doubling that to 4 times a week and about $3.50 a week you could do daily. You probably get most of that on your empties.  :laugh:

When I was first diagnosed I was testing every three days.

You might need to look again.

It depends on whether you need insulin. If you do, it seems to be a formality.
There has been a change recently that restricted coverage where there was no need of insulin but there was diabetes. Given that it brought in a restriction, there must not have been one previously.

Anyway, it will cover some. I had a post on here a few weeks ago about the new coverage. I'll just try to find it.
