I don't see cake in my future. Hubby is finally getting serious about
controlling his blood sugar - started pricking his finger a few days
ago. So far, a pastrami sandwich put him in the higher numbers but
everything else has been okay. He was 99 after a walk and 123 first
thing this morning. His goal is to not to take pills. If that's what
it takes, then that's what it takes (after a lifetime of bad eating
habits that were reinforced by no significant weight gain).
