8, ouch! I've always heard that anything below 7 is acceptable for a diabetic, below 6 for a non-diabetic. That's why I'm on the fence about it, my doc may not wanna mess up an acceptable situation. OTOH, I know from experience that getting the weight down could reduce my need for all meds...

Energy & feeling better...now that's something I haven't known since long before the diabetes jumped me...
