@athenalee, @johnbishop, @loribmt, @ sueinmn, @artist01, @gingerw, and all...Just a quick note to let you know my blood glucose is up but still not right. Mayo Clinic nurse called this morning to ck on my status and the readings. I'm so impressed with Mayo! I got a call to answer my weekend email portal question...no call from the primary doc and he should. Ordered new diabetic supplies. I will report to Mayo via portal tomorrow and following w/readings. See primary tomorrow.
Getting dressed to fly to Mayo, via the expressway.
Got a call back from Mobile Help this morning. I SIGNED UP FOR MOBILE HELP MEDICAL ALERT SYSTEM. No contract, got a small pendant w/2way talk, fall detection, and a card deck-sized base to have beside my bed in case. It's confirmed and shipping soon, so I'll be one ecstatic woman in a few days, feeling safer than I have in many years of falls.
Thanks, @athenalee, for the suggestion and information. I found this company to be very helpful, NOT pushy or HEAVEY SALES ORIENTED, price is great, pay quarterly and get free shipping and free lockbox for an outside key for emergency folks. So, Laurie, thanks to you for keeping after me and making me move forward.
Off to Mayo. Chat soon. Feeders are swamped today with all the birds in the area coming by and bringing their families. Love it. Blessings and no more pity-party today. Still swamped, but better attitude.

I am so happy Mayo is helping you solve the blood glucose puzzle! My husband was struggling to manage his after he had to discontinue one of his meds and the new one just didn't do it. He had a phone visit with his primary, who listened to his report, then suggested a minor adjustment that worked! So happy - we were scratching our heads, trying to figure it out - didn't seem related to diet, exercise, sleep... he was just SLIGHTLY undermedicated and it made a big difference. Keep searching.
You second report made me give a sigh of relief. YAY on the Medical Alert. Now please wear it 24/7 even in the shower. I won't share my horror story but to say my Mom took hers off to shower, fell and couldn't reach it, and we found out 18 hours later when my brother went to pick her up for lunch, found her on the floor - and she got an ambulance ride instead of lunch.
