I switched out my pump site today just before i left for work, and not long after I got to work the new site got ripped out. Forgot my spare but I hadn't pulled out the old site yet so I plugged it back in. Everything is fine for a few hours and then my blood sugar shoots to 250, just enough food with insulin throughout the day and I move around constantly at work and I'm usually more concerned about making sure to keep an eye on potential lows before they hit. I'm too damn busy to stop and pull out my pen and do that crap because my site is dead and doesn't want to absorb insulin anymore. This kind of thing and other annoyances happen from time to time and I'm usually super cool with it, but today I just really hate being diabetic. End of rant.

Does anyone know why their sign has shown a price for diesel and 0.00 for regular gas for months and months on end? I've never had to stop there for gas but just wondered for a long time.

So i was just looking through posts on here and reading a bunch of horror story ones with disgusting animal customers and terrible managers and it got me to thinking how Dollar Tree made me get out of retail forever. I worked as an ASM for 2.5 years and an SM for 6 months after 20 years in retail before ending up at dollar tree and when I quit that job I was done in retail forever. Anyone else spend a long long time in retail until Dollar Tree for them out of it never to return?

So i just needed to let off some steam. I woke up this morning (4 hours early) to my phone beeping because my Dexcom had ripped off. It sucks but it happens on occasion. I go into the app to try to get it replaced and the contact section of the app won't work, reboot the app, the phone, check that it's the newest version and it's all fine and still can't use the contact section. OK so I do it from the website and it's fine. Then as I'm trying to go back to sleep my overactive brain remembers it's been well over a week since I ordered pump supplies and I check on that, says I hasn't been paid for and finalized on the website but I know for sure I did that so I call. After a 10 minute wait I talk to someone turns out the insurance needs a prior authorization (dumbest nonsense in the history of insurance) from my doctor. They couldn't have called or emailed me about this in a week and a half?!?! The best part of that is I had to cancel my Endo appointment on Friday because they don't take my insurance from my "new" job and I already paid for 2 appointments out of pocket. So since I can't wait until I find a new endo who takes my insurance i have to "crawl back" to her even though when I canceled i said I'd be making no more appointments because of the insurance situation and have her take care of the prior authorization. I hate this disease and obviously hate it a million times more in this stupid country's health system
