[Diabetes-talk] Voice meter

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Veronica,

This is the same med staff who immediately placed me on an insulin pump
once I started seeing them eight years ago, and I was in the process of
losing my vision at the time. They also trained my husband, who is blind
too, on how to give Glucagon injections. My endocrine doc moved to OK,
but my new endocrinologist is great too, and I've been working with the
same nurse educator for the entire eight years as well. She's actually
the head nurse administrator at the Nebraska Med Center's Diabetes
Center, but she still deals personally with my stuff, which is awesome.
Yeah, I've always had this relationship since switching eight years ago
to a new clinic, and it has tremendously helped me regulate everything
as much as my own management has. We started a pre-pregnancy plan back
in Sept. so I was adjusting my rates on the pump frequently, in weekly,
sometimes twice-weekly, communication with my nurse educator, seeing
specialist after specialist, having numerous test and lab work done, all
just before even "trying." It's awesome that my docs have been so
involved in the process, wanting to ensure the best results possible for
me. I was given a total clean bill of health and the go-ahead. I'm use
to the constant communication already in general, so it hasn't been a
complete bother to maintain a constant, consistent communication sharing
my sugars and activity records, and making adjustments as necessary.
It's always been a take it or leave it situation; if I want the help,
they are ready and available, but if I don't take advantage of this
opportunity, they have no reason to work with me outside my quarterly
visits. Again, so shocking to me that docs elsewhere don't advertise
similar care. I've had a great experience with my docs, for the most
part, and they are, and always have been, sup portative of me, and
willing to put in the extra time and energy along with me.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Wow! I've never had a doc that was interested in talking to me in 
between the quarterly appointments I'm supposed to keep. Hard to 
imagine! I've usually felt I was pretty much on my own. Hmmm, moving 
to Nebraska? <grin.>
And Mike, trust the patients? Now there's a foreign concept. Wonder 
why the SensoCard never made it over here. Maybe that was why.
<chuckle.>
