Good night! #3GoodThings
1. Received a delivery of ChocZero cookies. 😋 I love having diabetic-friendly cookies!
2. Only did half my cardiac workout this evening but I’m learning I need to slow down and do some strength-building exercises along with it. I’ll still be getting daily exercise, just a bit different. Different is okay.
3. I finished another Elm Creek Quilters novel today. It was a rather short one with more recipes than actual story. Hubs and I finished a suspense novel tonight. 📚
Sleep well and may your dreams take you to the stars! 🤗🫶❤️🫂 #GoodNight #PhysicalFitness #AudioBooks #Diabetic

If you run into this situation there is a way. Called the pharmacy when they opened at 9am and was told it was still showing not available at any locations.

Called Wellcare and managed to get past their AI phone and spoke to a real human.

Explained the insulin I need was not available in either pen or cartridge form. The rep then went down the list of insulin's. With me saying wrong type, that is basal, sorry 70/30 is a type 2 drug , and so on . Finally got him to acknowledge the insulin needed was not available.

So he says I guess you need to wait to see when it comes in. I apparently said the magic words of I guess I need to go to the emergency room since you cannot supply medication I need to stay alive. And will call my congressman and the local news to let others know we have a problem.

A emergency 1 month supply of Fiasp will be ready at the pharmacy after 3pm.

I built up an extra supply due to hurricanes.
But it looks like I might want to expand past having about 1 1/2 extra months worth and ask the Endo to over prescribe a bit more. Do not want to store a years worth but maybe 3 or so months worth might be smart.

Drug plan provider changed me from Fiasp to a generic at the first of the year;
Spent several days waiting for the prescription to come in. After 2 days or so it arrived. Was told they do not stock that insulin. It was the only bolus on the providers formulary.

I renewed last Thursday. Today is Thursday of the following week. Called the Pharmacy yesterday evening. They are going to call me back today with what they find out. Was told they checked and none available in their system.

Checked this morning and still.

"" Out of stock

Your prescription is temporarily out of stock at this pharmacy. We’ve ordered it for you and we expect it to be in soon.
Insulin Aspart 100 Unit/ml Crt ""

If I was not a diabetic prepper and hoarded supplies I would not be sitting here complaining about it right now. Guess I need to see what the insurance co is going to do and see about forcing them to provide a more available insulin.

Would prefer Fiasp as it is faster acting.

@SeaFury Strawberry Quik? I tried that recently, for variation in milk-flavouring, and I didn't really like it, not enough for the sugar-risk of it. Which is frustrating, considering there are only three things I know I can flavour cold milk with:
* coffee, with sweetener
* low-sugar hot chocolate power
* low-sugar chai powder

At least there is chai to add some variety to the standard coffee and chocolate.

we had an idea for a medical training *tomorrow* but we're having problems finding what we need.

We want to go over #EMS #medical #assessments and we were hoping to find a video of someone doing a patient interview that we could have people scribe as it played.

A video would enable us to stop and review key points, but so far all we've found is proctored stuff that wouldn't meet our needs.

were the two scenarios we were hoping to find...

If anybody knows of such a thing please let me know!

In 3 days, I do my 3rd year #ramadan fasting (health, not religious reasons) as a Type 2 #diabetic

Naturally healed from pancreatitis in summer 2021 (emergency hospitalized for a week during the pandemic) as I was an asymptomatic anomaly!

Actually, I was in the ICU ward with really advanced cancer patients and elderly needing to be transferred to hospice. It was such an experience to be a young person there. The resident, nurses took good care of me, including the people who made/ brought me food from the hospital kitchens (who I all befriended).

They made such good food like shepherd's pie, mashed potatoes, but all I could eat during my stay was bone broth and jello! 2-3 IV drips fed me at all times so yeah.

YES I know that I am lucky to be alive and well now!

Got myself off insulin injections in less than a season (temporarily going low carb/vegan, losing 10 lbs. weight when I did need to), of course medically supervised by the endocrinologist, nurse mom, & the NP/doctor. I use fasting to be healthy
