Who Wants to be a PWD?

Inspired by Amy's recent round-up of diabetes quizzes, I'm here with a few headscratchers of my own. You may phone a friend or ask the audience if you need help with these.

For $100 or 120 Strips:

What is the appropriate action to take when you see 320 on your blood glucose meter?

a) Administer a correction bolus based on ratios determined with the assistance of your medical team.
b) Laugh maniacally and curse the diabetes gods.
c) Find nearest brick wall and bang your head against it.
d) Order Chinese food. What the heck, you are already high.

For $500 or a visit to the endo with annual bloodwork and a TSH panel thrown in for good measure:

When you succeed in lowering a high blood sugar to a number within range, you should:

a) Pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
b) Eat something! anything! You're back in range, celebrate by pushing it back up there!
c) Test your blood sugar 4-5 times so that your meter average isn't killed by the 4-5 times you checked while you were still high.
d) Pee. Remember, your body is still processing that high from 2 hours ago.

For $3000 or my 2006 out-of-pocket maximum:

Your head is pounding from a day of swinging blood sugars. You:

a) Ship the husband and the kids off to Chuck E Cheese and the movies.
b) Scour the cabinets for something stronger than bubblegum flavored Children's Advil.
c) Curl up on the sofa and watch mindless TV.
d) All of the above.

Not to complain, but can you tell what kind of day I've had?
