Hi Barbara. It's been a while lady! Lots of people I haven't seen in
a while are turning up. :-)

This one (mdginzo) has me just shaking my head. Susan has posted a
link for studies on higher BG levels (levels he finds acceptable)
leading to neuropathy. The sodium restriction for hemodialysis
patients is just a basic level knowledge thing. It's bad form to
crosspost this subthread to alt.support.diabetes, otherwise I'd do it.
Mark needs to be over there.
