Thanks.

My doctor says I am borderline type 2. And even though have been keeping my blood sugar level below 140 mg 2 hours from the time I start eating, I have not been able to move my A1C to less than 6.1. I walk for 35 minutes five times per week, and do 15 minute strength training twice per week...
