I am not a diabetic but have had hypoglycemic spells for 38 years now (57
now) and impaired glucose tolerance for 21 years.  I have had all sorts of
health problems related to muscles and other for all of this time.  I

In some parts of the USA there is a program to capture, neuter, and
release feral cats, the alternative being to destroy them.  It is hoped
this will diminish the populations over time but house cats continue to
escape/are release.  Bird lovers/watchers oppose the practice because
