Over time I have read different threads on wine and diabetes. I am afraid I

Well, I have been doing quite well in the last few days.  I feel more normal
and myself than I did those two days last week.
I find with keeping track of my b/s levels, I feel so much better and it
makes me stay on the thin and narrow.  It also wakes me up to what I did

We spent the weekend visiting our granddaughter. Her mom's family is from
Southern India. The other grandmother (Malathi) is a great Hindu
(vegetarian) cook and I've learned quite a lot from her. I realized this

While back, I was browsing these newsgroups, just like you are now,
and came across an article similar to this that said you could make

Went to the GP's clinic this morning to get the ol cholesterol and
kidneys rechecked since somewhat high readings a month ago.  The bill

Careful readers will recall that in our last episode, our
hero (me) had just had his first negative FBG test - 114,

Is it possible to have normal BG levels and still have high keytones?

the Dentist.  The dental hygienist bitched at me.  She found an excess
amount of calculus on my teeth.  I googled for 'calculus and teeth'
and found http://www.dent.ucla.edu/pic/members/plaque/.  Nasty stuff.

I bought a loaf of this stuff the other day.  It has 9 g of carb per slice
and added fiber.  And no soy.  That was a big selling point for me since I
am avoiding soy.
Did this bread raise my BG?  No, it did not!  But I think the only reason it

I have used the AIDA  program and other
included material  as a learing tool.
Took a short look tonight and it seems
a bit dated and now has some Ads.

theres a way...
well after my appt friday, I thought over the weekend and I decided I wasn't
going to wait any longer for the other doctors to reply to my current docs
about getting me an appt.  So, I took matters into my own hands.

I tried to tell you people what I do to fight this
terrible disease, and you tell me that I am dead,
or a liar, or to f.ck off?
Shame on you all.

I am flying to Sydney, Australia arriving on the 7th January 2006 to pick up
