[Diabetes-talk] New ways?

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

I mentioned this is my last post, but I created an Excel spreadsheet
that I log my sugars in.  I spoke to my doctor about if they wanted a
certain format, and I created the spreadsheet according to how my doctor
likes it.

With the spreadsheet, I can change dates and times by a simple command
and don't have to manually change all of them, and I can include other
info like meals and exercise too.

If anyone would like, I can attach a template spreadsheet you can
download and use, or email me off list and I can send it privately to
you.

It is not necessary to use those log books.  Even when I was sighted, my
doctor did not require I use one of those books- he just wanted my
readings.  Spreadsheet or not, if you have access to a computer, simply
write your sugars down in Excel, Word or even something like NotePad and
there you go.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Wow Honey!  This opens up a whole different ball of wax here!  Firstly, 
Whoever they are, haven't put the logs in accessible form so that a
blind 
person can actually fill them out with their readings.  Now!  Have they,

(whoever they are)?  Secondly, most of your DME's have on file when you
last 
ordered in order that they also have a projected reorder date.  Hmmmmm!
So, 
who is your Congressman Honey?  See how they can answer these
questions??? 
So when the weight gets too heavy to throw around...
