[Diabetes-talk] Long Island, NY here, and keep on file should you run out of medication

[cheryl echevarria]

Hello everyone:
Nelson and I are back in our home, we didn't lose our home to far from the water, but others have here on Long Island from the NFB or where they were living were destroyed by the water or trees and power lines.
We are back since yesterday, we had gas and hot water but no heat, so during the day we were at the Library or Nelson was at work.
Just some advice should you run out of medication and you need to be evacuated from your home, etc.
I ran out of my insulin, my pharmacy could verify my prescription for my refill for insulin, I didn't have the prescription number saved at home.  So, Nelson had to drive and waste precious gas, which he didn't get until today,  to a Rite Aid Pharmacy in another town that could verify my script.
Again, the pharmacy was opened, but because they had no computer working they couldn't verify my script.
Keep copies of all scripts somewhere in an emergency evacuation kit, mind you, we will see more of this kind of weather all over the country. 
For those that need I have trips and individual lancets for solo v2 meter.
Let us remember those who have lost a lot during this time.
Also, I am doing a year round fundraiser for the NFB of NY, which we also have the DAN of NY Chapter.

Oh yes
