RE: A1C and blood sugar levels...

Yes, but remember...your monitor only averages the times you've measured your

BG. Even if you do that ten times a day (which you probably don't) there's

all the times in between that you aren't testing. That's what shows up on

your A1C. Vicki

stop soon, 'cause that's pretty exxpensive. pat

Crisp bacon, mixed romain lettuce, bit of tomato and dressing of mayo

and a little pepper and cream to thin..yum

Or

Or

Lean ground beef patty with a bit of cottage cheese on top and a side

salad

I sure wish people were

into sending in their meals and bg's. I don't have much of a sense if I

am

doing well or not. I'm also on the lookout for good food ideas ;-)
