    It has been a while

    Its been a while since I last posted. Generally I can keep my BS between 36 and 42 without meds but its still causing eye issues. My ophthalmology dept blame my BS levels and what I eat. But I have been carb and sugar free for 18 months. I swear there are days I almost go insane with the...
