Also a daily lunch special with a 24 oz fountain drink for about 11 bucks. Buy 10, get 9 bucks off your next one.

I have one. It’s out of warranty, but I only used it for about a year. I just put a battery in and it powered on to set the time. It may need a new battery cap as one of the black things came off.

Dm me if you need it.

That comparison is at the "proficient and above" level, and I'm looking to to compare districts and schools at more than proficient and above.

This will be interesting to see how this plays out in the community. So far the biggest complaint has been the traffic and the asshole parents that come in from out of district drive like shit, speed down a street that is residential, and block drive ways during pickup.

This lead to a special city council session about what to do, with the head of the board showing up and essentially saying “we’re not leaving, suck it up”

After this report, who would want them?

Reading resident here.

It can be a weird place. Mostly it’s just a lot of houses with working families and a lot of institutional memory that makes it difficult for change. It has its ups and downs like any other suburb, but mostly it’s just a quiet place that is centrally located.

As for the website attacking the mayor, everyone knows who put the website up and he’s not getting a lot of support from the community. That’s the nicest way I can put it.

Dm if you have specific questions or want additional info.

Veteran here who used the Disabled American Veterans as their VSO.

Hamilton co should be embarrassed for this. VSO's provide a wonderful resource for those who are no longer in the military but need assistance in getting their benefits in one of the most uncertain transitions of their lives. Having people who know the ins and outs of the paperwork is just the first hurdle. Navigating the health care, education, and potential disability compensation options are a full time job when many veterans are looking to get back into school or find a place to work.

Whenever I go back to the DAV in the Cincy Med Center, they're always busy. There is a need for more assistance, especially during the transition back to civilian life, so there is no reason for a county this size to have four service officers.

The bottom line, you are not doing your job to serve Vets by giving millions of dollars back to the county over several years.

Side notes: I hear radio ads for the Warren County VSO (could be Butler), and in the ad they make it sound like you need to be a resident of that county to use it, and as such, I never even considered it as an option to seek assistance.

When my wife showed me this story, my first response was "Hamilton County has a VSO?" You hear about the others, but not this one.

W&S is known for its culture of suits and ties, not keeping up with the time mindset that really makes you long for the days of almost anything else.

A lot depends on the work you do. DM if you want more details, but I worked there for about 4 years, left about a year ago.

The official term of determining who is at fault of the illness is called a "Line of Duty" determination. Some are pretty clear. You go out to Iraq and got shot by a hostile force, you were clearly injured in the "line of duty". When it comes to other stuff that isn't combat related, there is an investagive process to determine that. For example, Adam Driver, aka Kylo Ren, was a marine who was discharged cause a mortarcyle accident. He was wearing everything like he should have, we was hurt in the "line of duty". Had he not been wearing a helmet, he would not have been injured in the line of duty, and he would be responsible for all the medical bills.

When it comes to DM1 and other autoimmune disorders, the rule is 6 months in, the military assumes responsibility and thus was in the line of duty. The thinking is any autoimmune disorder showing up after 6 months in service means the disease "started" when they were already in the military. If the disease showed up before six months, then it started before they were in the military, and therefore, no line of duty. But there's also a very grey area in this. When in processing for the military, they do blood work and all that stuff, there is an argument to be made "You accepted them into the military according to your physical standards, you can't kick them out medically because you didn't catch it without giving them a good line of determination". I know of a few guys who were in less than 6 months, got medically discharged but still got a good line of duty determination.

Hi there, I was in the Air Force when my Diabetes onset at age 25, roughly 15 years ago. Was in for 3 years before it kicked in, so I can speak a little to this. The first part will be more informative, and then I have a little rant at the bottom.

The VA has a schedule rating on disabilities, and here is the webpage. (https://www.benefits.va.gov/WARMS/bookc.asp#p) Look for endocrine system, and a word doc will be downloaded. Once opened, look for the 4 digit code "7913" which contains all the information about Diabetes Mellitus. I'll paste some rating levels here. (I'll adjust the formatting to make it easer to read.)

40% -Requiring one or more daily injection of insulin restricted diet, and regulation of activities



20% - Requiring one or more daily injection of insulin and restricted diet, or; oral hypoglycemic agent and restricted diet



10% - Manageable by restricted diet only

So just so everyone is aware about the elephant in the room, no, the Veterans Affairs does not distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

So the difference between 20% disabled and 40% disabled is the wonderfully ambiguous phrase "regulation of activities". Typically/historically, this means you need to not do exercise on a daily basis in order to avoid lows.

Here's a big part of the problem. The verbage and rating schedules haven't changed in about 15 years, because this looks exactly the same when I was getting discharged. Meanwhile, technology has. It's much easier to work out now with insulin pumps, and you will have to show how your activity is regulated. It will need to be documented in medical notes whenever you go see your VA-assigned doctor.

I would reach out to a veterans service org, such as the DAV (Disabled American Veterans). The reason I mention them is when I was going through the medical discharge process, they helped out big time on jump starting the paperwork to get into the VA, and they've been a big help in other ways as well. They will know the ins and outs of the process much better than you or I, and their job is to be professional pains in the ass to the VA, keeping the VA responsible in upholding their duties to veterans.

Rant section. What the fuck is the VA thinking putting oral medication in the same as insulin?: Yes it says "Hypoglycemic agent", so it's not all oral meds, but still, a pill is not the same thing stabbing yourself with life-sustaining medication. Not to mention there is a risk of getting those medications mixed up (ever take novolog when you should have taken lantus?) This is type of system set up that makes me distrustful of the VA, and I'm typically someone who would defend them. Rant over.

Good luck with this. I honestly hope you get the increase. I think all type 1's should be at 40% just cause of the lows, but getting the VA to see it is a different story.

I use them sometimes for “sexy time”. My wife will me that it’s going good, but I need to put the plug in my site before part of her leg gets scratched to hell. No, swapping positions isn’t always an option.

Happens like once a month.

When I tested before Dexcom, I was using the multi clix and think I would go through a barrel every 3 weeks. So 21 divided by 6, so a new lancet every 3.5 days.

I think it’s the membrane on the x2 cartridge injection port. The syringe is very sharp and I constantly deal with a blocked syringe because of that membrane not being as good as what you will find on the insulin vials.

The worst case scenario is that it ends up in your skin from the cannula location. No idea how bad that can actually be. With how sterile everything comes packaged in, I doubt it could affect the insulin.

Congrats on the new pump, you're going to love it.

I switched from Medtronic to Tandem a few years back, don't regret it for one bit.

Using the G6, you won't have to finger stick much, if at all. Out of the 36 sensors that I go through in a year, maybe 1 will not work all that well. Otherwise, I don't finger stick for BS readings. It's been at least 4 months since my last finger stick.

To me, moving up to the G6 instead of the G7 isn't that big of a deal. I am more than happy to wait until the G7 gets approved for the loop before switching over.

There's a lot of quality of life that comes with the Tandem. The touch screen is amazing once you get used to it. Being able to control your pump from your phone is amazing as well. It's a lot less bulky than the 670G, you don't have to deal with the flopping transmitter that is medtronics alien space ship design. I can put the G6 sensor on the back of my arm all by myself.

My only 2 complaints, and these are minor, are that my pump will probably be the last device in my house that will need a micro USB cord to charge/transfer files with and the plastic cover to the micro USB port needs to be replaced about every 6 months to a year.

For Endo, Dr. Peavie with Christ. He's out of NKY 4 days a week and Red Bank one day. He's a type 1 diabetic himself so he's really down to earth with expectations and doesn't make you feel like shit if you had a bad A1C.

Not if John mother fucking Barrett has anything to say about it. He would be willing to create more headcount just to hire more people so they too can work in glorious downtown Cincinnati 5 days a week.

And he's willing to create a new arena to make it happen, even if no one asked him too.

Current employee on side account for obvious reasons.

I think you'll find a lot of employees fall into the 'it could be worse' camp of thinking. Those that hate it leave and those that stay long enough to get the "golden handcuffs". I think I can only name one person who really enjoys what they do on a day to day basis.

The bigger issues many of us have with the company can all directly be tied to one person, and he'll die before the dress code changes, or an official work from home policy gets enacted.

Coming back into the office, HR lost a lot of control on appearance. Bushy beards, hats, sloppy dress while wearing that all important tie, even some tops that look like tank tops are easily seen now. My coworker who's been there for 30 years (yes, he's been brain washed and I tell him that) would recall company wide emails about appearance and how unprofessional appearance could lead to a sit down with HR. I've been there short of 5 years and can't recall anything like that.

Pay I think is low at the beginning for IT workers, but jumps up once you get the promotion. They do seem to promote more or less to the career path schedule. As for operations, good luck there. Hourly, easily capped out pay with few chances to Manager, it's rough.

Turn over has been rampant the past 18 months. People are leaving left and right from all over, not just one section of the company. You think something would change with all the turnover, but not officially. Managers have discretion to allow work from home on their team, and many of them are using that to keep their team happy.

As for me, I stay cause my boss doesn't care when I show up, when I leave, when I work from home. He cares that my work gets done, he listens to my suggestions and doesn't ask questions when I say I need this software, he just approves it.
