Yhanks, Tres You're lucky re: the meds. Understand, though, that when your sugar goes high, you've maxed out your pancreas's ability to produce insulin and therefore are stressing it. I was probably a mild type II in the beginning but my doc missed it for at least 2 years. The high sugar damaged my pancreas to the point that now I'm for all practical purposes a Type I. So take care of that l'il booger while it's still working :-) One thing about milk. It contains lots of Lactose. Per Bernstein, you can do what I do - dilute either heavy cream or half and half with water back to normal milk strength. This dilutes the milk sugar while maintaining the taste and texture. I don't like milk by itself so I don't drink it plain. But the quantity of diluted cream it takes for a bowl of cereal does not affect the amount of insulin I calculate I need for just the cereal. --- De Armond See my website for my current email address http://www.johngsbbq.com Cleveland, Occupied TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
