But time is evaporating all too quickly these days...I did send a snail mail note to Robert in Louisiana. I've still got a terrible cough and fighting this evil cold virus my son brought home. I started testing my blood sugar this week...not because of Rick's thread, but because It's been on my mind for awhile. I have a history of "glucose intolerance" and have noticed myself slipping further and further into the abyss lately. I was stunned to read the article he posted and boy do I fit the bill! My Glucose testing is showing significantly high readings, which coincide with having trouble getting meds to kick in! I'm pretty sure I'm over the line for type 2 diabetes (again)! I'm logging and diarizing everything...What a pain in the petutty. And yes Wendy, I am thinking of switching to the regular sinemet for better control. Talk about a bunch of control freaks...that's the theme in our lives these days. I wonder what it's like to be a Tibetan Monk and live at one with the universe?
