Jim,

Yeah, I plan to get tested for that too. At least I'll know if I'm diabetic (though I doubt it), hypoglycemic, or hyperglycemic. Maybe I have diabetes II. Either way, it's good to know. My grandmother died of alzheimers which has been shown to be related to diabetes.

Joe,

Thanks for the advice. I try to keep away from sugars as much as possible. Carbs too, but being Italian, that's difficult when a couple plates of spaghetti are so good! I've definately been eating more beans lately and staying away from meat more and more.
