Hello, Thom.

Glad to see your feed is fixed and let's hope this echo gets more active.

Me too, however, to my total shock, I pulled off a 140 this morning too.  I
need to keep wearing my CPAP mask at night...that's what's making the
difference for me.  Evidently sleep apnea has a lot of play when it comes
to diabetes.

I stand on my feet all day for 10 hours straight and when I get home, I'm
so damn tired I don't want to do anything.  However, I'm exploring other
options so maybe I'll feel like walking or riding my bicycle.

 TL> Like you, I was in the 300 range when I first went to doc.

My A1C is currently 11%.  Not happy with that.  Working hard to get it
down, though, and I'm hoping it will continue to go down.

Later,
Sean
