I was having some difficulty articulating all this. And Rick had noticed some perspiration while he was taking my blood pressure, which was lot higher than it usually is. So he tested my BS and it was 2.5(45)  . That was very embarrassing. | Yes, I'd be embarassed too. They always seem to hit at the very worst times.
And yes I totally agree with your assertion. Better control is exactly that: better control.
I don't think any of us could put the Beetus out of our minds and take it easy. Whenever I do I end up paying for it.
