Hi, One the blood sugar issue. I remember when I was in lab school that normal blood sugar levels were around 80-110 or 120. My grandmothers "normal " blood sugar for her was 300. The doctor tried to bring her down and she got sick. She got sick when it went higher. From what I understand that if a person has been diabetic for a while their "normals" are different than a person who has never had sugar problems before. To change the subject a little. I went food shopping the other day and I noticied some new bread. It said "sugar free". Think about it. The bread may not have any sugar in it but the starch-carbohydrates will turn straight to sugar. What a joke. Have a good night.
