Sue;
In your post your doctor told you not to go over 180. Is that your weight or your sugar reading??
And yes, when I joined the ACCORD program, you sign a bunch of papers. You agree to let them do all their testing. I believe I even agreed to let them do DNA testing with my blood.
I was given memory testing (I passed, can you believe that). all kinds of testing, initially. Then I was able to be examined by the top eye specialist at Cornell (as part of the protocol). Very impressive. I remember the doctor telling me "you are not a candiate for Lasik surgery". Forgot the reason (and I actually passed the memory test).
They would ask you "repeat after me", and give you 12 words" Then you give them back to them in any order you could remember". Then they would give you another 12 words, then ask you "give me the names of the first 12 words". I never laughed so hard. This was about 2 years ago.
I wonder how many times they give you that memory test. I have no idea.
Anyway, I have a cold.
Just had some soup. The weather is absolutely bonkers here in NY.
Yesterday it broke an all time record. Got up to 68.
Right now it's freezing.
Holy Moly
