When I told my PCP I was going to try DASHing she got real excited and said something to the effect that she thought that would help alot! And speaking of Hba1c, I'm happy to report I have finally gotten my 7, 14 and 30 day averages all under 140 (126,133 and 139 respectively!) Expect DASHing book in early next week and then we can get serious!

- 64 yo morb. ob. male - 12mm X 13mm rt. a.adnoma with previous rt. flank & testicle pain. I have decided against an adrenalectomy at this time since Meds. are working so well. Current BP: 130/77
