[acb-diabetics] how much diabetic education have you had?

[Sugar]

Thank you Mike, I will give this a listen to
sugar

"   Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become 
blameless and pure,
children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation,
in which you shine like stars in the universe.
    -- Philippians 2:14-15"
~Be Blessed, Sugar
