<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I see a regular physician and so far have been able
to control the diabetes with diet and exercise (for 4 years). I am pretty
careful about what I eat. I think I told you my last A1C in December was
6.0. I monitor once-a-day, usually before I go to bed. Last night it
was 105. I am visually impaired and live with my husband here in
Cedar Grove. We had 4 children, all grown and married. My oldest
daughter has no children and lives in No. Caldwell. My son and another
daughter live in Cedar Grove. Daughter has 4 children (twin boys).
My son has 2 daughters and lives in C.G. also. My youngest son works for
IBM in Poughkeepsie and has 2 daughters. That adds up to 8
grandchildren. It's very windy and rainy here today...a good day to be
home. My husband, Art, works on Wed. and Fri. for H and R Block.
(This will be his last year. Keep in touch and let me know how you are
doing. Pat </FONT></DIV>

FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="10">Hello Pat<BR><BR>Very happy to meet you and
chat. I am very familiar with Cedar Grove. As a dental hygienist I
worked as a temp in a periodontal office on Route 23 in Cedar Grove. I
grew up in Bergen County in a small town Wallington (surrounded by Passaic,
Garfield, E. Rutherford, WoodRidge). <BR><BR>I am a single parent with a
son, James, who is my landlord, lol. My only grandchildren is his dog,
co owned with his fiance and a bunny named Bugs.<BR><BR>I was first diagnosed
with diabetes in 2001 - was on medication and after 2 years taken off and
managed by diet and exercise. Well, times changed and without having
insurance, etc, etc somehow my diabetes went out of control and I am
back.<BR><BR>Only on 2 pills a day but not controlling as well as it
should. Boy after getting a chart from Vinny about a1c results -- makes
me worry. My numbers with a result of 7.7 and what that stands for makes
me worry.<BR><BR>Do you see an endocrinologist or a regular physician?
Right now I am in the process of trying to get an endocrinologist. How
are you readings and how many times a day do you check?<BR><BR>Are you also
visually impaired or blind? Have a guide dog? I am visually
impaired and just was blessed with my first guide dog, her name is Dorito -
the worldest most spoiled dog, so I have been told.<BR><BR>Well, I will close
for now. And I am glad that I may have influenced you to listen
in. It is amazing how much can be said over the telephone. The
most amazing this though was, I never opened my mouth. You see my
nickname is Chatty Kathy - so you can imagine how difficult or amazing this
was. ,lol.<BR><BR>I look forward to chatting again.<BR><BR>Always<BR>Kathy
