As for the hispanic part. I shoulda been more clear. I mean illegal ones. I know quite a few legal ones that speak fluent English. That's the key word, FLUENT, not 2 words and that's your English vocab. I'm one that thinks if you want to live (as in long term, not a 2 month job stay) in the US you need to speak the US language, which is English. They are just flooding this area like nothing else. Not to mention make our job EXTREMELY difficult and I won't be the first to say they could commit murder, leave their ID behind, be stopped by 50 police officers, and none would know they pulled over a murderer.

That's my only guess. Although I frequently go low if my two hour mark is around 8, so that must be the reason.

| | | I have one down the hall from me in the hospital I currently work at. I don't induldge in the non-coffee items very often. When I do it's a choc-chip muffin. I usually bolus for 60gms of carbs instead of their 71gms. I actually bolused for 70 yesterday and went low.
Question: When does "Roll-up the Rim" begin? |

Question: When does "Roll-up the Rim" begin? | I was surprised when I read their Nutrician booklet, that their highest fibre muffin is the Low-fat cranberry.(2 grams fat) I would have guessed that one of the oatmeal or bran muffins would have the highest fibre content. The low-fat cranberry has 7 grams of fibre.(if it's correct) Weird though because it looks and tastes like a white cakey muffin.

| | | Mmmm doughnuts.. I have a little doughnut problem myself. The QFC grocery store in my town has really good doughnuts. Texture is just right.. not too light, but not dry/chewy. I usually get a dozen of them on sale at the end of the day once a week. Amazing how many carbs are in the **** things..
