Toolkit

When I walked in the door the other night, I had a package from my insurance company.  (Secretly, I wanted them to have read my mind and have it be a Dexcom.)  But I digress.  

My insurance packet

This is my new diabetes toolkit.  I have kept it in the bag I bring to work to read during naptime (even though that's usually when I catch up on blogs, write my own blog, be a twitter addict all while cleaning up after the kids and potentially cooking their dinner).  I didn't look at it until yesterday.  The only thing I noticed before that was that there was a pedometer.  I thought this was kind of cool.  I walk a lot at work, so I was thinking of getting one, but there are more important things in life for me to spend my money on.  (I digress, again.)  Today as I was waiting to pick up Girl Genius, I started reading the letter that was included in the folder.  I read this sentence and I started laughing.  I grabbed my phone and tweeted it (clearly) and then I tried to read the rest of the paper.  Now I know that I'm still a "new" insurance person; both understanding and a member, but this still makes me laugh.  I got some pretty great responses and they all made me laugh.  But beyond that first sentence, everything I've seen is pretty sweet.  I took about 6,000 steps yesterday (which included walking the wrong way to the Frog Pond with Girl Genius).  I got a new log book (with not nearly enough space for me to record all my BGs for every day), but it has different tid-bits of information for every week.  There is information on keeping my feet healthy, which includes a magnet so you can put it in a place where it won't get lost.  And last, but not least the Healthwise Handbook.  

How long do you think it's going to take me to read this?
