I haven't given up yet, not by a long shot. I'm feeling much better now, and am back on the warpath.

I'm not a doctor...far from it.

That being said, even small elevations of blood sugar long-term can do serious harm to your blood vessels, kidneys and nervous system. I wish i had practiced better monitoring, because having a heart attack at 40, and a triple bypass at 46, i learned the hard way that there are far worse things than taking a mild pill to keep the sugar under 100, which is more like the recommended number.

Good luck to you whichever way you choose to go, as it will probably be something you have to work hard at your whole life.
