Re: New one - ED in diabetics

Hi Alan,

My last A1C, about six weeks ago, was 6.1, Since then my highest BG has been
about 210. I watch what I eat a lot better but ever since reading a 1994 ADA
report that sugar is not absolutely contraindicated I guess there are a few
times I've gotten a little carried away -- like when I rationalized a
"small" piece of birthday cake was actually "ultra small" because there were
so many people at the party and the cake wasn't very big to become with, so
in a different situation "small" would have been twice as large.
