    When I was first noted as diabetic ..... lo, those many years ago, I
    listened to my assigned R.D. for tips and began saving interesting
    recipes aied at diabetics.

    Then you posted the echo rules in this low-traffic scrum and I thought
    to myself, "Self, let's pump up the volume a bit."

    Oddly, I've been removed from my diabetic meds and am down to diet and
    exercise (yeah, rigt!) for sugar control. And Blue Bunny no-sugar-added
    I scream - which my first RD turned me on to.

    I do need to post more in here and advertise this echo.

    That's good you're off all diabetic meds. That's my eventual goal also.

    also.

    I'm still monitoring my blood sugars closely. Last time my croaker
    took me off all diabetes meds the sugars crept up and up until it
    became a problem. So when I parked the Amatryl I hauled out the meter,
    lancets, and test strips.

    Not my first rodeo.

    From what I'm told, my pancreas needs serious help since it's not
    working right even with the insulin so I'll be getting a pump soon.

    Not my first rodeo.
