To get you have to give. There was bupkes for traffic in here before I

everything is harmful if done to excess. Each personr excess point is
different from others excess point(s)..

If I had that soer of problem Id get a chart such as my local hospital has
to calculate insukin dosage after a glucometer reading. Hospital is the only
place I have *ever* had insulin.

Each case is different. I've gotten to 83 without the careful monitoring 
that you espouse. I drink zero sugar soft-drinks, no sugar in my coffee or
mt tea (hot or iced). That's my major concession to my Type II. And esating
Blue Bunny No Sugar Added I scream which an RD tipped me off to.

Other than that I am fortunate to me able to be an omnivore.
