Just bought a bottle of Sacchrin, 500 tablets, 1/4 grain size from
price chopper for $1.95.  Gonna try to use it in place of sugar for
coffee.  Anybody use it?  Is that cancer scare still alive and
kicking?

Someone I know tested on a glucometer and the results were 159 mg/dL.
I have told this friend to go see a doctor ASAP.

Well i stuck 18u in last night, FBG was 5.6. I'm going to pop another 2u

curative - well, not curative exactly)??

There's a lot of talk about false and real hypos and I have been
wondering about things at the other end of the BG scale.
I used to be hyperglycemic pretty much 24/7 before diagnosis and since
then I have noticed that my threshold for hyperglycemia is lowering.
