I used to run my meters in the red most of the time, I was a flat out maniac, paying for it now.
You younguns need to be careful, that silly ass stuff you thought you got away with in your 20s and 30s, will catch up with you.

I said I gotta go to a doctor when I put some money back.I haven't been to a docotor since I was 10 and got my physical to play football.No meds.The only reason I knew back then was the man I worked for at the time had some serious heart problems and he had his own meter.He was a 10 minute walk from where i lived at the time so I usaully walked.I went to his house one day coming back from my lunch break and my chest was killing me and I said man I gotta sit down for a minute and explained what was happening.He checked my blood pressure and sugar and said you have really high blood pressure and told me that you need to tell your mom that your bp was 170/130.At least my bloods sugar was only 96.After my chest calmed [under my own saying he wanted me to go home.I got a couple of asprins and went back to work.From then on no coffee or energy drinks at his place couldn't even bring my own.
