Today I ran into an old friend, who had heard I'd been in hospital,
and that I had diabetes. He asked me how I was doing on my blood sugar

He replied "Oh, don't worry about it. I'm sure you will soon get it

I'm new to this whole finger poking game and I've been looking for a
clearer definition of a BG spike than the one I am formulating at the
