Quote from: Matthew on May 08, 2017, 10:19:59 AMLarry - I'm having blood sugar issues at the moment myself. I'm trying to deal with it with diet and exercise. I've stopped all sugar that's not in fruit or veggies, switched to gluten free bread if I absolutely have to have bread/tortilla's etc and have been concentrating on protein - lots of protein. It takes a while for your body to adjust, but it works - quickly usually. I've also stopped drinking coffee and switched to iced green tea - which is good for lowering blood sugar. Also, I've been taking a cinnamon supplement which is suppose to help also.I mentioned a week or so back that I'd started doing a daily regimen of drinking two TBSP of Red Cider Vinegar (raw and unfiltered) with some water because a cousin told me it could "drop" my high numbers.I had a blood draw on Friday. EVERYTHING is WAY DOWN. Cholesterol (HDL and LDL), triglycerides, etc. Best results of the past four years. After only a month. Of course, I've also been on insulin and a stronger statin (Lipitor, aka Atorvastatin) which accounts for some of it. But my AC1 is the best it has been in years, as well.

I must give her credit; she is very skilled at completely NOT listening to the other person and PERSISTING with her pitch. The second time she called I yelled insults at her. The third time I just hung up. I don't know if there's a way to block those calls. My phone does everything under the sun, but can it block calls?

Ushering for Alice Cooper tonight. Why? I haven't a clue.
A few years before my dad died some scammers got him. They told him he'd win some big sweepstakes, but he had to pay to enter. The first check he gave them was for $9000! They sent some Fedex-like service around to pick it up. They sent him a DVD player that didn't work, a fake diamond pendant, and a few other things. I don't think that was the only check he gave them, either. Gawd! I want to wring their necks! And why is it that nothing is done about these organizations?
Evening all! I everyone is doing well. Mega vibes for DR JRand and DR Larry. I understand about the sugar. I feel horrible when my numbers are up.

Well I had a different kind of day at work. We went to the Medical Examiner Department today. I didn't faint or get sick when I saw what I saw and confess I'm a bit proud of myself for not doing so. I didn't know how I would react to seeing an autopsy or 2 or 3.
The show was fun. Loud. Showy. Couldn't resist the finale, which, of course, was School's Out. They sent out big beach ball balloons into the audience, a theater first. And the balloons were filled with confetti.

It was another beautiful day here. That makes three in a row.
I had to replace the batteries on my scooter today. They were no longer holding a charge.
