I put those papers up recently on a thread of Glenn's.

Mrs.D, this is quite a relief. But, I will still continue to monitor my sugar at home just to know how I fare with my eating. As you know, I need to gain weight. As you may know, MAC competes with the "calorie consumption". But, with this sugar elevation, its hard to balance maintaining hte a good level of sugar and adding more calories to my diet

I will have my AIc test tomorrow, lets see the result of the test.

Again, thank you so much for your valuable information. I cannot thank you enough.
