Nigel, I also refer to our new president as DT when I'm not calling him "that man." I'm trying to avoid actual name-calling, but it's hard! I have avoided the tv all day but I am enjoying the classical music radio station near me.

Donuel, T2 diabetes is a progressive disease, and it's inconsistent and unpredictable. Some days I think I've done everything--diet, exercise--right, but in the morning my fasting glucose is high. Other days I know I've overindulged in the wrong foods, but the next morning my glucose is fine. I know eventually I'll need meds and suspect that an A1c will soon indicate that. What I'm saying is, don't beat yourself up. (Though I probably will when it's my turn. It's much easier to give advice to others!)
