Thanks for the prayers and well wishes. Doing much better already. Blood sugar is suddenly down to near normal in the morning testing. Consulted with family doc after check up last week and we've cut insulin units from 27 to 20 to 15 and now down to 12 in less then 10 days and it seems to be working out well. Maybe if I stick to the diet and get some more exercise (back to some trouting) might be able to wean myself away from the insulin altogether. Looking forward to wetting a line again soon but have to wait till I see the cardio doc in nine days. In the meantime I'll sit back and enjoy all your stories and phots here on FAOL.
