So post DX I had ot drive and my mom a T1 was worried in those days there were no finger sticks or carb counts. <br /><br />My dad said (in his most manly voice) "Boy it is time you got the license, I am tired of carting your butt around". <br /><br />LOL <br /><br />My mom said "now Larry he does not need to do that if he is not ready". <br /><br />Isn't it funny what we remember from diabetes?

You can also call the broker (the personnel office will likely put you in touch with them anyway). I think asking prechoice is always a good idea and it will be OK to do so. If you have already make the choice call anyway, with a change like this, you may want to get a good handle on any sections 125 dollars you can elect prior to the new year.
