    Odd. It still appears to me!

    I know we are talking "soft" versus "hard" consonant sounds but as a former elementary school teacher when we taught phonics, well I'm reminded of the poem below (in the link) and how crazy/difficult the English Language is. Enjoy and ponder.

    OMG! You've reminded me of THIS ONE - My father gave it to me to read out loud at one of his recital evenings we held annually at our old church... He actually gave it to me with around 3 minutes to spare! I got a standing ovation, and honestly? I had a headache afterwards!

    Perfect! Thanks.

    Even we LCDers have managed to add to the mayhem in our own little way.....

    "Frito & keto are ghastly together,
    Yet lean & protein are birds of a feather.

    And it's kosher as pork to blend petty and pretty,
    But never malign carb-heads or write the word sh- ... *kitten* "

    At least they're trying. Which is what many of my friends, acquaintances and my mum all say about me.

    True. I'm actually asking about [taking Metformin] (I have high fasting BG no matter what I do) but they don't want me to use it. LOL

    Well, here's some support for using metformin for diabetes prevention:

    Lifestyle changes and treatment with metformin both reduced the incidence of diabetes in persons at high risk. The lifestyle intervention was more effective than metformin.

    The Indian Diabetes Prevention Programme shows that lifestyle modification and metformin prevent type 2 diabetes in Asian Indian subjects with impaired glucose tolerance.

    Of course, cyanide and hemlock have also been proven effective at diabetes prevention.....

    I asked for a dosage increase. He wasn't having it. But refilled the 1000mg for me anyway. He also said I was no longer prediabetic and metformin was not approved to treat prediabeties anyway. So I guess I'm lucky he didn't take me off it.
