[Diabetes-Talk] future CGM and pump accessibility

[d m gina]

You are in a tough spot.
I'm sorry you don't have anyone that could come in and help you.
The place you wish to look at, do they have nurses there who would help 
with your diabetic needs?
If so, even if it is hard, you would have to get rid of cat.
Feeling that your needs come first.

> several years which assists me in emotional support. This is verified by my

> Your comments and suggestions are appreciated,
