I’m wondering if this sugar-goodness is just the vicoden? Maybe I should take a couple aspirin regularly, cause this stuff is great for my numbers (for those late to the show, a “normal” person’s blood sugar is 80. When I was in a coma in the hospital last year I was something closer to 860). […]

David’s been half-jokingly asking me ever since he saw my cellphone-sized glucose meter when they were going to integrate a glucose meter and a cell phone. “Soon,” I’d say. And here it is.
