That's really nice that they cover eye exams for you. I am sure it saves them money in the long run.I'd agree as well about the optometrist. He showed an early case of diabetes showing up in the capillaries of the eyes. Very interesting to see inside your eye. Here once you have diabetes you get your eye exams for free. I'm guessing that helps catch things before it becomes more expensive for the health care system...lol.
Bread is my downfall between the two. I'm most likely to go over on sugars if I have Chinese food. I think it's the sweet sauces. Darn.
I didn't realize about the dentist. I don't even want to think about how far behind I am there.
I only know of the dentist connection because my doctor asks me all the time. He said the diabetes can lead to gum disease and things like that.Yes, most of the time eye exams are covered under medical insurance after a diabetes diagnosis, and your eye doctor is often the first to notice it's onset.
I don't know about diabetes and dentistry because my wife is an Optometrist, not a dentist lol
Sorry to hear about your loss.
16 eggs today. No school again tomorrow due to flooded roads. Plus we are due to get more rain tomorrow and Thursday. As it stands now, I am unable to leave my area to make the drive to Ohio to pick my daughter up from college on Friday. All the roads out are closed due to flooding! Her BF's parents are going to let her move her stuff (she has to be out of the dorm on Friday) to their house and stay with them until I can get up there to pick her up. They live in Michigan.
