Dear Fran Drescher #11

Dear Fran,

How is your week going?

You’d be pretty proud of me. I haven’t had any sugar since October 20. Zero. Nada. Zilch.

Fran? Fran? Hello? Hm. You must have fallen off your chair. I know: it’s pretty unbelievable, eh?

First of all, I requested that Haley, my naturopath, order a hemoglobin A1C blood test for me. That’s a fancy way of saying, “Let’s see how much partying this girl has done over the past three months.” Well, it was not good news. I guess 4.8 to 5.6 is the reference point for normal people and since I like to think outside of the box, I thought I’d shoot for 5.8. Kind of like Tom Hanks being told years and years ago that he should really watch his blood sugars and decided, “Ah, why should I do that?” As a sidebar, do you think Tom Hanks would come on the Ellen show with us? Could be fun.

Second of all, Kim is the best sugar sponsor I’ve ever had. Remember, I told you about her? I don’t really know her that well… she sort of discovered me through the world wide web and we’ve been corresponding ever since. I knew she would be keeping an eye on me, so I thought I better stay away from the stuff. I don’t want to disappoint her.

But I guess my main incentive to stay away from sugar has more to do with the fact that I do not want to get diabetes. I’m thinking one major disease is enough, don’t you?

Best friends always,

Marie
