Good Mornin’ Everyone – I have been assisting my children in the preparations for the last Grandchild to graduate. All the festivities are tomorrow and then we will get some rest.

Reen – when I was suffering some really sever leg cramps, I looked into several things. The bar of soap at the foot of the bed did a lot to help. However, I also found out through research on the computer that when professional athletes suffer from muscle cramps they are given lots of Gatorade or and IV of Saline solution to raise the sodium level in their system. So now I am a dedicated Gatorade drinker who sleeps with a bar of soap tucked into the sheets at the bottom of the bed. This has eliminated about 90% of the leg cramps I use to have. It seems to have something to do with the sodium level in one’s system.

Katie – I love your perfume bottle but have not had a chance to open my books to assist with hunting down information. It is at the top of my Sunday “to do” list (if you have not found out anything by then).

Reen – good luck with your diet – Reducing carbs is great for the sugar levels. However, with our diabetes, I have learned a really important factor *** Protein is fuel for your body *** Carbs are the ignition switch that starts the fuel burning *** so when we have lunch it is protein (meat, eggs etc.), green salad with 2 Saltine Crackers, fruit (fresh or frozen) and dairy (yogurt, cottage cheese, etc.). The dinner is usually protein with either fruit or vegetables. This has worked great as hubby has keep his diabetes under control enough that he does not need to use insulin and mine has gone from controlled by pills to being maintained by diet only. Sure hope this helps with your success.

Well I am off and running. Waving a big howdy to everyone! I know I seen a name I haven’t seen before so welcome to CarrolKay. So glad to see you pop in. Hope everyone is having a delightful week and are planning a fantastic weekend.
