Hello. It's spring and here in Florida it doesn't make that much difference. It's beautiful and lush here most of the year, if not all of the year.
I've told you I was beginning to have some problems with my detail vision now that I've been dealing with Type I diabetes for more than 60 years. I am still driving my car locally without any problems but as I've told people, my vision problem of detail just causes me to have more trouble identifying the make and model of cars as well as 'who' is walking on the street. It's that detail thing. The only real problem has become loading my insulin syringes because sometimes I take a dose of 1.5 of (N) aat bedtime instead of 2 units . Just dealing with lines that are not 'pure' to see is a real hardship. For me, the difference of just a unit can make a terrible difference.
I began looking up magnifying instruments on the internet. I was trying to locate and price free standing magnifiers with lights. EXPENSIVE! Some ran as pricy as $300 and up. Others a little less but I wasn't satisfied.
Well, the bargain hunter became active. Actually, I happened to see an advertisement from a local fabric shop that sells sewing supplies and sewing machines and apparently magnifiers for people who were doing fine sewing work. The name of the store is JoAnne's. They showed several lamps with magnifiers at various prices in my local store ranging from $19.99 up to plus $40.00 . I went over to look at them and choose a small, white standing magnifier without a lamp for $19.99 to see what type of help it would bel.
Well, JUST AS IT IS, it works wonderfully! Because I have it sitting under my lamp where I do my insulin loading and injecting, it's perfect.
The name is OTTLITE. Some have lights and some do not but still the same brand. If you don't have a JoAnne's near you, check it out on the internet. OUTLINE is located in Tampa, Florida 33602
With love...........🔻(supposed to be a heart!)
