To all, Vicki has great taste in restaurants! I'm looking forward to seeing

Vicki again in Portland soon. And, I see how much guessing & recordkeeping &

dreaded MATH Vicki does to get those insulin doses right.

Teri,

Just like we all have to find the right balance of lifestyle changes,

supplements & meds to handle our individual cases of DM, you have to deal with

those pesky migraines. I'm so glad you're getting closer. How long does it

take for your new preventative drug to reach full dose? Has the stress and/or

the meds affected your bgs?
