When it comes to blood sugars ABSOLUTELY.

Not been able to go. I talk with about 3 members on the phone once in a while.

Lupus IS a chronic illness - it is not harsh, it just is.  Maybe
you just need some time to get used to it and that's okay. I try to
not whitewash what is happening cause it is easier to deal with
facing the facts then to deal with cute labels and then having to
face the real stuff anyway.
