Mr. Doom & Gloom meets a Optimistic Doctor

I had always assumed after losing my job back in the fall of 2008 & unable to find employment since then, that was it. Nothing left to do, but to go back home to my mother & in return for the necessities of life ( Food, water & shelter ) I would just look after her and wait for God. Without health insurrance a condition such as Diabetes http://goo.gl/9SWYc can be a death sentence. My problem is I can only afford the cheap medications minus the life saving Actous I have been doing without for the last two years. Thus my blood sugar has been elevated averaging 270. Note: A normal blood sugar level is 70-120. Therefore I just acepted that I was probably going to die in my 40's ( currently 41 ). Having never married & no kids, might as well just enjoy what time I have left though I have taken what care I could by exercise, diet & the cheap medications. Just not good enough to get control.

Then I meet my new Doctor today. Warm, friendly & Oh did I mention Optimistic? LoL After a long talk he explained programs that he will be able to get me onto if the increased dose of Metrofin does not work. He gave me the hope that maybe, just maybe God wants me around on this Earth a while longer. Why I have NO idea.

So a good day. Going to be checking my blood sugar twice a day for the next 10 days & see if his first step works. If not we will look into Actous ( $285.00 U.S. Dollars per month ouch! ) under a manufactuers prescription drug plan or other wise known as "handouts" & Isulin if need be later on. So far I have not suffered or noticed any symptoms however Diabetes is a hidden disease. Like smoking it catches up with you causing organ failure. So for those at risk or have it take it seriously & talk with your Doctor. For I found out today there are still options.
