While I generally find being a moderator rewarding, it is sometimes difficult being thought of by members...

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    I have had occasional bouts of episcleritis and get prescribed steroid drops when that happens. Fortunately they do not seem to affect my sugars too much. Doug
