Tony answered the A1c, for short, and does it really taste like orange to you? It taste like Dr. Pepper without the carbonation to me. As for the Ranch dip you will have to experiment to see what it actually does to you. The dumping I was talking about was the stored glucagon that is stored in the liver which normals use to keep their bg's in the normal range, but if your resistant it makes for high bg's without eating. It's also why when you get older fasting doesn't help you to loose weght like when your young and everything works the way it's supposed to. You will also hear dumping reffering to excess blood sugars passing through the kidneys which is what it does when they have been high too long and what make all of us pee like crazy sometimes.
