Man, I know I couldn't...I still have not recovered from my mom passing

It's not only those idiots, it's also the dim-bulbs that voted for the
present collection of darwin failures that represent us.

I've told my daugthers to invite every elected representative we have to my
funeral....give them little cards that say "Thanks to you, Dad is here
today."

Not really....you need to determiine how long it takes for your sugar to
get to a normal level, after eating a known amount of carbs.  I ran a test
and took readings hourly....and determined that in most instances it take 5
to 5.5 hours for my blood sugar to get toan acceptable(for a diabetic)
level.

The doc tells me that armed with that number, I know when to eat...since if
your sugar level is elevated and you eat carbs...it goes way up.....and
stays up.

I also test before and after I exercise....and when I get frustrated or
have an injury or infection,...all of the later raise my blood sugar.

The frustration and tension was one reason I stopped participating in so
many Fido Echoes and administration....I felt so much better once the
mental barbs disappeared.

Ah well....

Take care,

cya,
