Sounds like you and DH had a good time, too, Cheri. I enjoyed being waited
on hand-and-foot and watching the kids. Three hours after that 148, my BG
was down to 74, so I sampled 2 sq. in. each of pumpkin, apple and pecan
pie. Heaven! Two hours later, my BG was 238! Pecan pie is at least 200%
sugar! Even this morning, my FBG was 118. I only had bacon and eggs for
dinner today. Bedtime BG 102.
