Nope, we took it head on. I am in Springfield, MO. We were right in the middle of the flooding. In fact, we still have areas that have roads under water. Even this morning, 4 days after the storms, we have cars that are being swept off the roadway on some low water crossings. Thankfully, I'm a city boy. LOL.

This week, we are forecasted for more rain, and some storms. Now we get the tornado season coming back to us.

As to the control, I am learning quickly that it sucks to go hypo. So far, I've only gone down to 55, but that was bad enough. I have some friends that have described their hypos as low as 30, and it scares the **** out of me. What happens if I'm alone and that happens? Sure, I've started carrying glucose, but what if I forget to grab it in the morning?

I don't talk about my feelings much, but this is one of the few parts of the whole **** disease I just haven't come to terms with.

Regards,
