Travis,
I certainly appreciate your diplomacy. You have made your point quite well and I'm positive, Bill could use a scolding or two about the cost to live a healthy life!
Bill is 42.
He realizes the importance of a health care plan that will help support the financial requirements for diabetes supplies.
Up until a couple of months ago, he worked for himself and couldn't afford health insurance. He is currently employed with a company that offers a health plan and will be elegible in another month. He claims, he will not be so money conscious about testing himself, once the insurance kicks in.
When I want him to test himself, sometimes I'll say; 'here's a dollar, test yourself'...lol
I doubt he will visit this site with eagerness. He knows I visit a couple of forums for business and special interests and he's not up on trusting cyber friends yet. Maybe a reference to liturature or a book will help get the importance of these issues, across to him.
My purpose in visiting this forum, is to gain knowledge, insight and advise on how to cope. I promise you, I will not be offended if your tone is off or even if you rant. Possibly, someone can learn from it or there is someone else out there lurking who is going through the same thing as Bill and I, and arn't willing to speak up!
I have read many of the posts on this forum. It appears you are a kind and loving bunch, with something in common to discuss among yourselves. I know personalities flare up from time to time, nothing's perfect! I will monitor this site and hope to become involved, with a 'mates' point of view.
I am fond of your tackfulness and sense of humor...
