When you say Sugar levels, I assume you mean Serum Glucose? (HbA1c)
After losing over 100lbs, I can tell you that I still do these tests almost daily!
the understanding of how much sugar we have in our blood is important.
Obesity and Diabetes are not only co-morbidities to Covid, they are the basis of about 60% of ALL medical costs. Most blindness comes from T2D (Type 2 Diabetes). So do most foot/leg amputations.
I believe your blood can hold a few teaspoons of sugar to fuel your entire body.
And drinking a can of soda provides like 11 teaspoons all at once. Creating an insidious loop of storing energy, to give you energy. Add the Salt+Sugar+Acid, which clears your palette and makes it "hyper-palatable" (meaning you don't really get tired of drinking it). Finally, sugar and caffeine are both addictive.
So, the "sugar" tests matter. But, IMO, the average doctor doesn't understand how much, and where the fixes get applied (because they study it with a focus on Prescribing Drugs).
T2D is "Diet Induced Diabetes". And can be resolved by fixing the diet! (Or by taking drugs that make you fatter and sicker over time). ONLY 1 of those is good for the patient, the other is good for the food industry, the doctor, the pharmacy, and the drug company.
You decide where the moral hazard lies.

Does that also mean that MS is responsible for their care and feeding?

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I just went into the master bedroom where she is watching tv, sat in the corner chair like it was a family meeting. She muted the tv so I told her this joke. looking at the floor while delivering the punch line.

Yeah, supposedly a snail told that joke on a guy's doorstep. The guy threw him a good 100 feet away.
5 years later there is a knock on the door. He looks down and see's the snail who says:
"Hey! What the hell was that about?!"

I'm hoping someone here has experience with firmware that controls microwave ovens. The ironically named Frigidaire Gallery, if I want to be fussy.
Every so often the countdown goes 3...2...1...7...6...5...4...3...2...1
I'm trying to think how on earth
a) this can happen (and happen randomly), and
b) why 7.
I did try (as I always do) to open the door at exactly 0. Because deep down I'm still 5 years old. Maybe that's triggering some odd logic? A capacitor not fully discharged? A power spike? A hidden Easter Egg?
Anyone?
cheers
