Ran across this interesting little tidbit, especially helpful to those on a lipid or Avandia or Actos I'd suspect. http://www.lifescan.com/care/news/dn051904-2/ |

| | Quote The early effect of this blockade is stimulation of the immune system that could protect the liver, "but we don't know what the (ongoing) effects are," he added.
 Hmmm, is this why I have type I, an autoimmune condition? LOL.

| | | Wow ashy! Interesting find! I tend to put the coffee pot away when it gets warm. For some reason, it just makes me feel too hot all day or something. Anyhow maybe I should birng it back out even in the summer?! |

| | I just started drinking coffee again, about 2 months ago, and after about 3 weeks my B/G readings, at 2 hours, were going through the roof, on the days I don't drink coffee, everything's fine.  I want my coffee back.
