@cidmeyers, Yes, I'm finding it harder the past few weeks to stay away from comfort and sweet desserts and fear I'll have to pay the piper for sure when I see my nephrologist later this week. Pretty sure I need to start pulling out my kidney/diabetes diet plan and posting it in plain sight to get back on track. However, grins, since I completed the labs last week, may go ahead and indulge a bit more until I see the doc. Shame on me!
