Good Evening Pat

So nice to hear from you.  I  was as I stated at one point with just diet 
and exercise for 5 years.   Many things happened.  I was doing great 
maintaining my diabetes with  Metformin and Amyral - but when I had to hospitalized 
for mistreatment at a  cardiac facility -- the hospital changed the manner I 
took my medication and  from that point my glucose levels are never 
maintained.  I was getting  A1c of 5.5 and fasting morning glucose levels of 70-90.

Today was such  a beautiful day that my guide dog and I took a much needed 
walk. Since I worry  about my glucose levels and possible necessity to be 
transported to the  hospital via ambulance = I visited my local ambulance corp 
-- as far as the  paramedic -- he saw no reason she could not ride with me 
-- unless they felt  it was not safe for her to ride in the rig.

Then I visited the local  fire department notifying them of me living alone 
-- visually impaired with a  guide dog.  The chief will contact me with 
anything else they need and  hopefully some sticker for the window.

Then we took some more of the  weather by visiting the local police 
department.  You see it appears I am  the only one police see walking with a guide 
dog and prior to that my seeing  eye cane.  Well, many drivers seems to be 
aiming their vehicles at me or  my dog and has brought many concerns.  Well, 
now referred to the officer  in charge of traffic control.

So you see my desire to be physical fit  has a reason to use it to the 
fullest.  I try to exercise as much as  possible -- my past I was a personal 
Trainer and professional dancer. a Those  were the days.

If I remember from the past doesn't Cedar Grove have a  beautiful park.  I 
remember something I thought in that area from the  late 1978.  That rainy 
and winder day was Friday.

Keep up the good  work maintaining your diabetes.  Hopefully mine will get 
that way again.  Keep in touch.      Chatty  Kathy
