Darwin Update

Darwin is very much his old self, but is now hyper-conscious of his eating and his blood sugar and his meds. This is net gain, really. The whole acidosis incident has pushed him past his avoidance relationship with needles, and now he checks his sugar voluntarily! (Me: Who are you and what have you done with my husband?) Now the household is more devoted to lowering carb consumption. I've embarked on a campaign to substitute carb-heavy side dishes such as potatoes or pasta with roasted or stir-fried vegetables. Tonight's menu, for example: baby back ribs, roasted carrots/parsnips/yams, sauteed mushrooms, cheese and pickle plate.
