Well, I just finished playing two games of Chess with a buddy of mine, I
won both by the way. I haven't had anything to eat or drink since that
scary reading I got around 1800 or so.

I took my blood sugar just now and to my amazement, it is "99!" It has
dropped nearly three hundred points in 5.5 hours with no medication of
any sort. My blood is flowing like water! Very thin. I bled all over my
clothes when I stuck my middle finger on my left hand.

I'm going to take it one more time now to be
sure--------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------Ahhhhhhhhhh This time it said "106" Now I have
also lost about 25 pounds in the last three months. Could that be a
factor in my body suddenly seeming to be able to handle sugar again?

In any case, I won't press my luck. I'm going back to just using
artificial sweeteners. I may be on to something good here after all. It
must something in certain cereals that brings it down. I'm going to do a
search on Copernic and see what I find.

Anyway, I feel good! :-)2358 CDT
