Thanks for the replies, but apparently, beer makes my blood sugars shoot through the roof. I don't understand, when I was younger, they didn't do a thing. But last night I drank 2 beers and a few hours later my blood sugar was 311! Needless to say, even though I love just sitting down after a hard day and cracking open a bruskie, I think I'm going to give it up.
As for the kidney stone, next week I have an appointment for shock wave lithotripsy, to break up the stone. They suggested a stint be put in, but I declined.
