Yah!!Sure! Make CHOPPED SPINACH out of me! Okay? But might I send a
gentle nudge that first of all, I hate chain email letters and my practice
is to delete them even if they're from close friends of mine. I don't even
open them. I wouldn't recommend continuing to forward them to a list such
as this, especially when they have absolutely nothing to do with diabetes?

> a sudden change or a steady pitch if nothing is changing. The
