I can't even get them to cover my last day in the hospital becaue they consider it "too intensive" a level of care (???). <BR/><BR/>But yea, all comments noted, definately. We'll see what happens. I'm not digging the being hungry part, though.

But in the long term, dealing with a medical condition that is a part of your life and isn't going to go away, you're eventually going to see doctor's advice as just another one of your input streams (rather than the only input that matters). <BR/><Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7463512.post-1153410472386062922006-07-20T11:47:00.000-04:002006-07-20T11:47:00.000-04:00I think what the doc is worried about is the possi...I think what the doc is worried about is the possibility of combo diabetes (Type 1 1/2?

They're used to getting folded peices of paper with barely legible numbers on them, so I think having me in there with all my cross-referenced spreadsheets makes their day.
