Soda Junkie
Re: Soda Junkie -- Posted by Snarfweazel! on 06-25-04 06:52
Thanks so much for the info!! I bookmarked all the links so I can check
each one out. We go back to the Dr. today to find out how is second
blood work came out. They also did a urine test this last time which
was different than the first time. Is that possibly to make sure he
isnt secreting ketones? If all goes well he will be able to just
continue his meds and now change his diet and exercise routine.
Otherewies, the Dr. said if the sugar #'s arent better than last time he
is going to start him on night time insulin injections until his diet
and exercise can get it better under control. I am making a list of
questions I want to ask the Dr. since I am the cook in the family and I
hope to be reassured by the end of the day.

If the Second Amendment is so out of date
then shouldn't we also throw out everything written
before it? What now... "Hail The Queen?"
It's easier to preserve what we already have than
fight to regain what we have lost.
SAVE YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS!
