ok, actuary tom: what is " bg " ? lol sorry. but

like i said, i'm very new, soooo much to read, and i

need to make tons of notes now.

also, can someone give the URL or whatever to the

" chart thing. " someone mentioned that they print off

the spreadsheet and take it to the doctor. that kinda

amuses me, and makes me think i can MAKE this fun (OK,

but at least i'll have neat stuff to show my brother

and friends, LOL).

gonna get to work now and be back on tonite. and,

yes, i have some more finger pricking to attend to.

pat (ouch!!!)

Pat, BG is blood glucose -- i.e., the blood sugar levels you stick your

fingers for and measure with your meter.

sure. i'm now actually taking notes, rather than

just reading. thanks. pat (fingers hurting, LOL)

BG means blood glucose. You wouldn't have us constantly referring to BS --

(blood sugar) -- now, would you? <g> Vicki

believe it or not, that's why i asked. i know my mom

had blood taken at the ER many times, and some was for

" blood gas " . i still don't know all the medical

stuff, but i was wondering what that had to do with

diabetes.

i have soooooooooo much to learn. pat

This is one of those YMMV things. Test it out for yourself. Check your

BG...drink it...test an hour and two hours later. Of course, you'll have to

avoid other foods at the same time. Vicki
