 DD> My glucose meter is set to mg/dl readings - although I can

That's the US standard measurement.

 DD> mmol/l

And that's the other standard, used in most of the rest of the
world. It's easy to convert. Just multiple by 18 to get mg/dl.

(I was initially alarmed for you when Roslind went over 10, Kevin
went over 20 and you reported 80!)

 DD> A1C

As I mentioned to Carol that was a new term for us. She and her
doctor are not monitoring that at all.

 DD> If I didn't have this freaking pacemaker I'd say I was in
 DD> pretty good health.

I dare say that you are healthier with it than without!

  (No stats, I don't know how diabetic friendly this actually is or
  how small a portion is recommended. It may well be 12 or 16 small
  pieces, not 8. - JW)
