Life is strange. I have never been willing to contemplate cheating on my

radios I could never afford for my ham radio hobby. Now suddenly, I am
presented with a list of foods that are forbidden.

I wanted to take metformin to allow me to eat that fruit. Somehow the
biblical mythology of forbidden fruit comes to mind. Is metformin the
devil tempting me? I don't of course believe that, but the metaphor
remains.

Michael, I think you need to ease up on yourself. It sounds to me like
you're obsessing over the details and missing the bigger picture.
Quality of life is important. Strictly enforcing a "forbidden" list is
liable to make your treatment so rigid you have no room to live within
it, and that's the kind of situation that too often results in the
person throwing everything out the window because "being good" is too
hard.

Please lighten up. A rise of 5-20 in your BG is practically nothing.
And occasionally blipping over 140 at one hour will not drop you dead
the next minute. This is a marathon, not a sprint. You need to be
developing habits that will last for the long haul -- habits that
support the quality of your life as well as the control of your blood
glucose.
