Hi to everyone! Just wanted to stop in and see how you all are doing. Has any heard any reports about your bs reading 2 hours after meals is more important then what your fasting bs are? I have heard the resent reports show if your bs comes back to a normal range within the two hours it can cut side effects of D in large numbers. The doctors are now going to start putting more training out on this topic. The ADA is lowering the a1c number which will be considered normal range. We were talking about this at a D class. Any one else know of this? Take care, Love and Luck, Misty

Hi All! Herb: So sorry to hear about Beth. My prayers go with you to OKC. Jim: I'm glad you're out of the hospital..not a healthy place to be in my book. I hope you get well soon. Mike & I went out last nite for our 26th anniversary. Did the usual dinner & movie. I highly recommend going to see K-Pax. A little different, but very enjoyable movie. Lets' you forget the real world for a while. I couldn't believe my b/s at bedtime...114! I had salad, tri-tip steak and 6 bar-b-q'd shrimp with some baked beans. I only had a bite of the white rice it came with...mixed with a little salsa. No dessert & no popcorn at movie. Was 115 this a.m. too. I thought it should have been lower...but I guess that's still good. I saw the Dr. Thurs. and on the 29th I get a cortisone shot in the elbow. Youch!!! But it should reduce some of the swelling & pain. If not...the alternative is surgery. Double Yikes!!! I hope the shot works. I talked to my regular Dr. about the high b/s associated with the shot...since I'm so sensitive to lows she doesn't really want me to take 2 Actos instead of 1 the day of the shot...if it goes up I'm to act as if a sick day and just take it easy and keep well hydrated. If it goes too high..I can call her. We'll see how it goes. Well I've got to finish my chores so I'm not running like a crazed turkey come Wed. Have a great weekend All. Connie

Good Morning: Jodi is packing the van for a quick trip to OKC. Beth, our middle daughter has been rushed to the hospital with a staff and a strep infection that has gone septic. This means that it is in the blood and has gone all through her system. Beth has systemic mastocytosis which is the same terminal disease that we lost our 6 year old grand son to 4 years ago. This is the same condition that he was in when he went to the hospital for the last time. I am not saying that this is Beth's final trip but we have been in the final stages of this disease with her for some time now. Our youngest daughter Becky has the same disease. Knowing that it is a genetic disease that originated with one of the parents makes it especially difficult to deal with for Jodi and I. We don't have any idea how long we will be in OKC. I will contact you when we return. Thanks!! Herb and Jodi

Herb, thanks for the update on JohnV. How are you today? I had a very high reading last night. It was down this morning, but not within a good range. I'm still trying to get it down! Hope you have a great day!

Oh,come on Herb! How many times do we have to hear about John and his self-catheterization!!! The man is obsessed with his own penis!

TO 21:23:42, why does it not come as a surprise that you don't care. You have made it very clear that you have no compassion, no concern, no consideration, for any one but yourself. You pick on two men who have serious health problems in your tirades. You are so predictable it is rediculous. Herb (Bear)

BIG BAD JOHN: John V. is home and still on a lot of pain killers. They had to suspend the procedure half way through due to his losing an excessive amount of blood. John has had to cathertize (SP) himself 4 times a day for years. Whether or not they will do the other half later depends on whether or not he is able to do the self cathertization (SP) or not.

I made this last weekend from the "Healthy Kids" magazine. I served it bubbly hot with hot cornbread. It looks pretty and I was thinking it would be a nice different side dish for Thanksgiving. It was very good, but only in small portions, because as it cools it *congeals*. ACORN SQUASH SOUP: Cut 2 acorn squash in half and scoop out seeds and strings. Put face down on a backing pan, add 1/2 cut water, and back 400 degrees for 45 minutes. Let cool. Scoop squash out of shell and blend in blender with can of chicken broth until smooth. In a bowl, mix a tablespoon of flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/4 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp nutmeg. In a pot over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of margarine, stir in flour mixture to make a paste. Add 1 cup evaporated skim milk, stir until smooth. Pour in the squash mixture and continue to stir until hot and bubbly.

Good Squash Identifier at http://www.geocities.com/NapaValley/4079/squash.htm Shows pictures of many winter and summer squash varieties. It is for planting but is useful tool for learning types. If you have a small pressure cooker you can just put the squash in (whole), bring it to pressure for 3-5 minutes depending on size of squash, let cool til you can handle it, cut (easy when cooked) cut out centre seeds and pulp and enjoy.

Jim: Glad that you are feeling better. After 3 AP silly posts, I agree that you don't need to bother with it. Take care!

Too bad that 8:51:12 is too ignorant, maybe too stupid, to consider safe supplementation to help diabetes control! Too ignorant, maybe, to consider the damage overprocessing does to nutritional values. If you can't ask a legit question or make a worthwhile post, go elsewhere! RE REDBONE, NOOKIE and LACKANOOKIE. ???? "Sick" is the only proper word to describe such posts.

God morning everyone. Herb, Marc- Still trying to get better, thanks for asking. Cardiac rehab will be a long process. I finally "got my breath" back. I don't get winded talking or walking across a room any more. Starting to feel really good, but tire so easily and could sleep 27/7. I haven't been and won't be coming around here much for now. Need to spend my time getting better, and don't want to read the nonsense. Everyone have a good day, Jim

To those that e-mailed, thanks for all the info. To 22:17, I looked up Milk Thistle, made for some interesting reading. I usually shy away from that, but my wife is having success with accupuncture and herbs so I will ask her to check on it as well. Thanks for the name on it. Yahoo did have a ton of stuff, all favorable......Marc
