    Hi BillyJoe, welcome!
    You might want to check out some old threads. Some of them are pretty interesting. If you want to share your bg numbers, diet, exercise with us, we'll probably analyze until even YOU are sick of talking about you.

    Welcome BillyJoe, what part of the great white north are you from? (WA state here).

    This is such a terrific place, looking forward to learning from you.

    I don't check my BG levels as often as I should but usually they are around 10 - 15... way to high. Every now and then I get a 6-8 but not too often.
    Since I drive truck, exercise is fairly minimal, 53' at a time as I usually say. I do have to get everything checked once a year but always seem to squeak by.
    As for diet I try to avoid sugar as much as possible, but diet coke is my crutch. And vegetables, meat just the occasional burger, maybe once a week.
    I willl be getting my new physical in February, so I'll have some fresh data then.
