Thanks for the inspiration John and Mark  Couple of weeks ago I got results from a blood test back that says my blood sugar was high. Scientist that I am, I immediately went out to buy a glucose meter and have been monitoring my glucose levels before and after every meal. Results seem to indicate I might be pre-diabetic. Will have to go to the doc soon but I aim to go in armed with data. In any case, the results have been enlightening to say the least. Corn chips are going to have to go. That's a bummer because, like Mark, I crave them. White bread too, which I love. And that cherry coke at lunch has been replaced by a diet lemonade. Turns out that eating like a teenager for the past 30 years hasn't done me a lot of good Fortunately, plenty of good things like steak, eggs, beer (one lite, not two regular) and nuts are still on the table. I'm compiling a list of meals that don't spike my blood sugar and it looks like I'm only going to have to lose a few things completely and add some moderation for the rest. Only been a few weeks but I think I'm starting to see a correlation between my mood and how much sugar is in my blood. The days when I maintain an even strain in my diet seem to give me an even strain in my mood as well. Could be psychological but that doesn't really matter Good to hear that others have fought similar battles and won Scott
