Hi All,

Yes, low is good. Insulin should be low too when fasting. Insulin

resistence is a large problem that drives up blood glucose, leading

to glycation.

I will be unavailable for some time as I travel to British Columbia

for my long-term disability locality. Once I am there I look

forward to mostly lurk and post once in a while.

Cheers, Al.

I've heard it is very beautiful there. Good luck in finding what you

like & we'll miss you.
