These were almost direct quotes from my doctor. I lowered my a1c level from 7.2 to 5.9 over a four month time period. He is tickled !!

I also found that food for diabetics is mostly on the bland side But, you put up with it.

My biggest disappointment is that I enjoy beer, and now the most the doc will "give" me is a beer or two around Christ,as and New Years.
