How are you?

The question which found its way miraculously into the title of this entry is one I'm frequently asked.  It's a hard question to answer.  It can go one of two ways, really:

-Well, I'm hungry all the time, feel a bit like a pin cushion, and am uncertain as to how I am going to keep this up for the rest of my life.

or

-Good.

The more correct answer is somewhere in the middle: I don't know.  I don't know how I am because never have I felt sick.  Only the people in white coats told me I was sick.  

If you want to know how I am, I'm not the best person to ask: consult my blood sugar tester.
