 DS> Dave, thanks for the tip about Amaryl. Researching... By the way, my

Turns out Amaryl is a little scary for me with all of it's side effects and
all. Things like that quit working for me anyhow decades ago.

 DD> I was on a combination of amaryl and metformin when a low blood sugar

 DD> As a result of that episode they had me ditch the metformin and cut the

 DD> I darned sure don't want to repeat that diabetic coma episode. I have

Best wishes with your sugar goals. Your recipes are being read. Thanks for
