Spiro, John, Mrs Spiro and daughter are back from their incredible Mediterranean cruise. So how did Afrezza perform in the face of the monstrous stress that Spiro would be putting on John’s blood glucose?
5/28 FBG 98 departure from Miami.
The minute Spiro got on board, he hit the ice bar for a Pina Colada, followed by a Mango daiquiri and later a Banana daiquiri. At dinner, Spiro had a Margarita Onion soup, Colorado Lamb rack, potatoes and a piece of Strawberry Cheese cake. Only one 4 unit correction dose was taken the entire day.
5/29 FBG 136
Spiro decided on day 2 to cut back on the daiquiris, but not the soufflés, breads, appetizers, desserts or anything else. The Banana Foster and Apple Crumb with ice cream was to die for.
5/30 FBG 116
Spiro started taking 2 to 3 correct doses of Afrezza per day for the remainder of the cruise. John wasn’t too successful in controlling the out of control Spiro’s desire for overindulgence.
5/31 FBG 107
6/1 FBG 101
6/2 FBG 104
6/3 FBG 104
6/4 FBG 121
6/5 FBG 123
6/6 FBG 117
6/7 FBG 119
6/8 FBG 130 Cruise ended at 8:00 A.M.
6/9 FBG 123 12 hour flight home, no correction doses, one airplane meal, Spiro missing cruise
6/10 FBG 98 Afrezza back in control
For those interested, Spiro would leave a calling card after each meal on the table cloth. Of course it was an empty Afrezza cartridge. When the waiters cleared the table they would stare at it, but never touch it. A lot of them may have ended up in lost and found.
Early in the cruise, there was an officers challenge Blackjack tournament. The first seven signees would play seven hands with the highest top four advancing to the round two championship against 3 officers. Spiro successfully convinced the non blackjack playing Mrs. Spiro to take the 7th spot, to increase his chances of getting to the final round. There was no entry fee, so why not? Mrs. Spiro not really wanting to play tried to deliberately lose every hand. Each player was given $1000 in chips to start the game. Spiro went out in hand 6. Mrs. Spiro kept winning virtually every hand and was going to qualify for the finals without betting on the last hand. So naturally, she goes all in and loses the last hand on a dealer’s 21. All the people that busted out get up and leave, but Mrs. Spiro thought she would just stay in her seat and watch the rest of the challenge. They then announce the 4 qualifiers and Mrs. Spiro was number 4. Mrs. Spiro objecting yells out “Oh No”, but I lost. The Pit Boss said, well everybody else left, so that makes you number 4. Well of course, you know the rest of the story, Mrs. Spiro tries to lose every hand but miserably fails and was the big chip leader going into the last hand. Spiro whispers to her, just bet the minimum and you will win. She tells him, but I don’t want to win and bets the limit. But of course she hits a 4 card 21 and beats the dealers 20. The finalist officers and players congratulate the now rather embarrassed and red faced Mrs. Spiro. The Pit Boss then handed her the $100 prize, a trophy , $20 free slot play and a Celebrity cruise knit shirt. Go figure, would you believe Mrs. Spiro was gloating after her unwanted victory and briefly confiscated Spiro’s hat and Dreamboat
