[Vision2020] Idaho's Got Talent!

[Paul Rumelhart]

Sorry, I didn't mean to step on your point.  I just didn't want one of the
points in the article (that you don't have to be ashamed to wear an insulin
pump in front of people) to be forgotten.  The more I read about sugar and
insulin and the more I see the changes of lowering sugar/carb intake on
myself, the more I realize that it's really sugar that has turned out to be
the bad guy, at least if too much is taken at once.  I blame Ansel Keys.
