What do you do?

Published

I've requested a fresh bottle of insulin for my T1D multiple times. It has yet to be brought in. I've instructed my UDCA to continue using the bottle we still have as I feel that is better than no insulin at all but we're now well past the 28 day window. The current bottle we have is not expired by any means (but it has been left out of the fridge over night which is when I first requested a new bottle) and the insulin is not cloudy or anything like that. It appears to look just fine. I'm just frustrated that we've requested a fresh bottle and it has yet to be brought in. I've had issues getting inhalers and epi pens but this is the first time I've had an issue with a med like insulin. Anyone else gone through this?

a google number sounds awesome! I have one parent that has my number and that’s it so far ?. I had a parent who wanted my number last year but I said no way Jose! It would have been a nightmare.

@ARN it is super easy to set up and you can have text and voicemails from it forward to your email. I set on up and basically treat it like my work cell, but use through my personal cell AND you can also use to text or call from your computer as well :).

Yes, there's an APP so you can use it on your phone, however it shows the google # not your phone #. Love it!

OP, if you don't have a Google number, I recommend. Turned it around for me when it came to parent communication. All my Google phone number texts forward to my work email as well - I've been able to open some long thought lost communication panels with parents this way :).

How does one go about getting a Google number? This sounds like a great option as I'm over 3 different campuses so a lot of times the only interaction I have with parents on other campuses is via phone!
