"How Sweet It Is" has become so interesting for me to do...
...that I will also add links to it on Mom's Test Results page. You'll notice that the sparsest month is 6/03. None are nearly as sparse as June, but 5/03 comes in a close second.
    Initially, I am happy to report that Mom's overall blood sugar levels seem to be doing better off metformin, although I have also been careful to institute firm changes in her life style to which she has mostly been amenable. Either way, every time I can take her off a medication, I celebrate.
    I've also begun to record times of day. You may assume that, if the first reading of the day is a Midday reading, that was probably when she awoke. In some cases, I will remember events happening on those date. I'll also check the Blood Draw histories for Blood Glucose Levels on days in the past, through March, which is where Mom's Glucometer history ends.
    I discovered that peppermint tea in the evening helps relieve her bouts of hiccups. That's nice to know.
    I have it in my mind to write an essay. It is practically complete in my mind, but I've been distracting myself with other interests and curiosities because I think it's going to be a deeply emotional essay, even if it isn't written in a style designed to provoke a tear. I am mentioning it here as a reminder.
    All continues to be better than well.
