The next time you buy a can of peas, read the fine print.
Sugar is added to a lot of things now not to make them
sicky sweet but to give the appearance that natural
plant sugars are there but even more so.

And don't forget the gravy so many people load onto it.

I do have the extra money, and this is how I choose to spend it. I know
that some people don't. I am very sorry for them, especially if they are
like me, and did not have a life style that contributed to their disease.

That's what the doctor who prescribed the medicine told me, too. He was
wrong, at least for me. That is why he is no longer my doctor. The
specialist, whose name I managed after much effort to pry out of him, told
me that I probably will never need insulin. Since I am now 74, she may well
be right. I hope so. I don't even want to think about insulin.

But not as smart as Gaston. Gaston reasoned. It was great fun to sit and
watch him reason a problem through, and solve it.
