Diabetic anyone?

A month or so ago, during pre-op, I received the third degree about my blood sugar being around 270, and my refusal to take any meds. I told the nurse, Grace, that I had not been behaving myself, but that I know how to fix it, and that I would. Grace gave me her email address, and said that if I was so sure I could fix it without medication, I could email her my morning blood sugar average weekly. She was just certain that I couldn't accomplish this and lowering my blood pressure, without the long list of meds recommended by the association.

I got back on track with my diet and exercise after that conversation, and as of this morning, it is down to 158. With just a little more effort, I am certain that I can get it down to 100 by the the end of April. Additionally, my blood pressure has returned to a normal average.

I just sent off an email, with a smirk on my face. I ended the email, thanking her for her concern, but what I really wanted to end it with was..."In your face, Grace!"
