10. I am not diabetic, but all relatives on my mother's side,

Mar 2014

plus two of my sisters, have had type II diabetes. So I have been watching my sugar intake. I had a pre-op examination for a cataract operation in February where I had a blood test, and my sugar count was normal. I was surprised because I love my wine and guzzle it at night so that I can fall asleep and was worried that would affect my sugar level.

I also love to pig out on ice cream before bed. I have discovered sugar-free ice cream, so I can indulge without guilt.
