CGMS Battle Ahead
December 16th, 2008 by Chris SChristmas time has come so fast. I will already be going back home in just a few days. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was flying back home from Thanksgiving. Well tomorrow is my A1C test, so that means fasting tonight. I will probably eat some fruit right around 10:30-ish, and then that is it. Drink some water in the morning to make the blood work go a little easier and hope that I’m under 7%. I think that I may be this month. It would be a great Christmas gift, plus it will make my educator happy.
I’m also in the process of trying to get approved for CGMS through the insurance company. From what I’ve read, I have a long road in front of me. But I can’t do anything other than just try and wish for the best. I don’t know if I want to wear a whole new infusion set on my body along with the one that I already have, but if it helps me control my levels better, then I guess it is worth it. I will do a little more research about it before I obviously go on it. Either way, I still want to upgrade to the newer version of the pump I am on, just in case I do decide to go on the CGMS, at least I will have the right pump.
You know what, I have so much shopping and things I still have to do before Friday night. We are having an early Christmas dinner and Christmas gift exchange since I will be flying back home this weekend. I have no idea what to get anybody, and with time running out, who knows what I will settle on. Maybe I should make a list, that would probably help.
