Hi Bridgit, and all,

Bridgit, I don't know, honestly. Never cared to 
research it. But several years ago, docs told me a 
couple things I'd never heard before, and was 
amazed at. Yet both seem true and have pretty much 
been playing themselves out. The first is that 
supposedly insulin builds up calcium deposits on 
your bone joints over time. If that's true, the 
old standby some Diabetics use, saying, if they 
eat more, they'll just take more insulin, etc., 
well, that has an additional consequence now, if 
this is true. And honestly, I would argue for it 
being true rather than against it, as it sure 
seems like what's been hapening over the years. If 
I was to get arrested and put in cuffs, they might 
pull my shoulder, as I can these days barely touch 
my hands together behind my back anymore. Yes, I 
admit, I don't stretch much at all, but never 
really have, and I'm far less flexible than I was 
10-20 years ago -- and I'm only 42, not old yet.

Second thing was that high blood sugar levels 
affect *all* of your body, even your teeth. Now, 
this is simple, common sense I suppose. But it 
never quite hit me, about it affecting my teeth, 
too, y'know? It was just a sort of, "Duh," moment 
for me. ;-)


Strive On!
Everett
