So....my meds were SUPPOSED to ship yesterday and be here TODAY. That includes my Insulin. Last dose was YESTERDAY. Called the company(since I ALWAYS get a text from shipping to look for them on delivery day and didn't get one yesterday) and they said Insurance wouldn't let them ship something until today(and they weren't going to pay for 2 shippings).
No Insulin today and IF I got my MD to do an emergency, that would invalidate this month's through the company and I'd get stuck paying full price.
What I can do is DIET today and dbl my oral antidiabetics until it gets here tomorrow AM. Won't die but will probably feel like crap tonight....
Cheers,
Pat

The shipping sucks badly! It isn't as though you take insulin and other meds just for fun. Gahhh!

Adding to the "fun" ,apparently the MD office has been renewing the script without changing the Units given. I'm on a sliding scale going up 3U every 3 days until my sticks are around 120. The scipt was for 50. No wonder I've run out. The miracle is that I lasted until yesterday, even dropping back to 83U per day starting Friday when I found out they were going to mail on Mon....

Sigh, between the insurance racket and the scatterbrained doctor office ...

I have to give the office "points" though. I got a call around 3pm that when they asked the health dept's pharmacy if they had any Insulin, they mentioned that oddly, they happened to have samples of the particular brand I use that they were going to toss next month. Drove right over. Lucky;>......
