Hour by Hour, Daily Battle!

Well, Today's the Day! I went to my press company and did the Press Check for color at 8 a.m. this morning and the book is being run today. They tell me it will be folded and bound next week and I should have it by Thursday or Friday. It is amazing how everything, is always a week out. It was great as I had my son with me and we got the tour of how the operation ran and printed and were allowed to tour the whole facility. The press operators were very helpful. One said that he really appreciated the concept of the book as his father had become diabetic in the previous few years and that it was close to home for him. I am amazed at the numbers of people affected by this disease.

As I got back to my office, I got a phone call from an old friend who had been diagnosed diabetic and is on 4 injections a day. I highly recommended looking into seeing if maybe an insulin pump would help him to improve his control. I related to him that before I went on an insulin pump 15 years ago, I too was taking 4 injections a day. Wow! am I ever glad to be done with that. As like the rest of us, he is struggling to maintain control and keep it right! It is an hour by hour, daily battle.......but it's a good fight!

As always, Keep going...........Peace, Bob
