While I like water, and I drink 2 to 3 liters of it a day, I like
something different with a meal now and then.  I kicked the caffeine
habit after my diagnosis so I limit TaB (my favorite diet soda) to 2

I usually take my Metformin xr at 5pm, which I did last night. This morning
I went to take my Lasix and was thinking about my Granddaughters and son's
upcoming visit...well instead of the lasix I took my Metformin again. So I
