Too busy to blog

A lot has happened in the last 2 years. Here's a summary.
1. Ariana is in law school. My front desk person is Tammy Manke as of Aug 2017.
2. I have a Certified Diabetes Educator, Josh Quinn, 'on loan' from Medtronic. He is here on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month to co-manage people on Medronic/Minimed pumps and those wanting to start on the pump.
3. I have a medical assistant, Kaitlin Shonnard, here each Tuesday and Thursday to get your vital signs, update your medication list and upload your glucose meter or pump. Be sure to bring your meter. She has the app for uploading 26 different meters. 
4. If you need a coach for stress management, see Toni Caruso. The visit will be included with your appointment with me. I also have a device, a Muse headband, that facilitates stress management. You can demo the unit at the office any day I'm open. Bring your smartphone to run the app.
5. I have guest wifi available. Just ask when you're here.
6. I love my Medtronic 670G hybrid closed loop pump. It's reduced my hypoglycemia by 80-90%. Instead of averaging 1-2 h/day under 70 I'm down to 10-15' on the average. I can go days without a low.
7. I have a Facebook page for my office to announce when I'm out of the office, etc. Search For Dan Caruso MD on Facebook to stay up-to-date. Please don't use Facebook to communicate with me about your health care.
8. I also have a Yelp page. I'm not as attentive to it as I am Facebook.
Merry Christmas!
