Thanks for the info. I am trying to keep my heart rate under 155bpm. I am thinking if I keep better control of my sugars I would not have this problem. I hope my cgms is helpful.

Welcome, Marcus!! Thanks for joining TuDiabetes. It's an honor to have you on board.

Here are a few tips on how to make the most of the site:

If you find the community useful, I'd be honored if you could link to us on your blog and/or share news about it with family, friends, colleagues, readers and anyone whom you feel may benefit from it.

I will be adding a link to your blog on the home page.

BTW, what company do you work for, if it's not too much to ask. Internet Marketing is one of the spaces where I've been doing projects for over five years.
