Cost of beef lately??!!
What the heck is going on? Around here in NC, I cannot find a good cut of beef for less than $6 a pound! Earlier this year I was stocking up at between $3-4 a pound, but my stockpile is gone. And why the heck do the butchers slice the steaks so freaking thin? I want at least an inch thick! Those thin ones cook too fast and…

My crazy metabolism...I think
Alright. So, Thursday morning early I had a BPC to start my day. (My FBG was 117) Then we drove 3 hours to the mountains where we hiked and enjoyed nature for another three hours.

Type 2 Diabetics on LC - question about morning blood sugar
The last time I really went LC was in 1999, before I was diabetic. Now that I am, I am concerned this time around about my BG levels, especially in the morning.
