I suppose the response would be, how do you know that no damage was done
that day...  But I'm with you on that...  :)

Dunno...  don't think I've ever seen that, only regular Coke...

 ML> Funny thing is that sounds appealing to me right now.

Maybe your body is telling you something...  (G)  I've made it with
stock instead of water, to make it savory rather than sweet (no need to
add sugar done that way), adding curry along with the cinnamon... I
usually cook some raisins into the oatmeal with either version...

The "fix" for hypoglgemia is not having simple sugars at all, on the
premise that the sugars are triggering too much insulin, so the net
result is too low...  I finally figured out that a balance of good
protein and some simple and complex carbs worked the best for me, to
keep the sugars in line, and the metabolism from shutting down (or at
least trying to) and making things worse....  :)

It's the desired effect that is my goal too...  :)   Most meds don't
give that...  sigh...

That would last a LONG while around here...  (G)

I've read some interesting things, both science fact and science
fiction, about that in Analog...  Not sure how much credence I put in
it, but I'm not going to totally reject out-of-hand...  Of course, given
that sort of scenario, there could be also myriad alternate universes in
which things didn't go wrong at all...  ;)
