Diabetes

Diabetes is really on the rise! Every year, my heart doctor does blood tests for all sorts of things, including blood sugar. The combination of high blood pressure and diabetes is really nasty, because the sugar works like shrapnel in your veins. To make matters worse, it's easier to be diagnosed as a diabetes, because blood sugar number has dropped from 125 to under 100 in my adult life!

I realized yesterday how bad it's gotten, because I got a phone call asking me to send letters to 15 people in my neighborhood. I have been sending notes for March of Dimes for years, but now there's a movement to educate the public about diabetes!

Do you know what your numbers are?
