Diabetes Shots


RIF
There was a campaign when I was little to get kids to read more. It was called Reading Is Fundamental, or RIF. I believe, if I’m not mixing up my Conjunction Functions, RIF was also a big red dog. This doesn’t really have anything to do with anything, since I’ve always been a big reader, even before the dog. I have a Chicago Public Library card, and I check out multiple books every couple of weeks. Reading doesn’t raise your blood sugar, which I like.

I remember RIF- and like you I was a veracious reader as a child- I'd read several books at once!
Thanks for reminding me that I need to dust of my library card & check out some books.
YOU ROCK

I an a type 2 diabetic, using pills and diet for control. My fasting blood sugar averages (BSA) 140-160 here where I live at 4000 foot elevation.

Last year I went on a week long auto trip to sea level Charleston S.C. found my BSA in the mid 90's, but went back to my regular BSA at home.

An auto trip last week to 1000 ft elevation again showed my BSA in the 90's.

I asked my doctor if elevation has anything to do with BSA and received a NO reply. Has anyone else ever experienced this ?
