Well, I can't take the physical onslaught of miserable symptoms anymore. I am fed up and want to live, not just exist. I want to do this and do it right. I have to. My life depends on getting control of my hypoglycemia. "Just Do It!" With God's help, I'll get through this and come out a better person all around.

I'm trying to sign up for the Sugar-Out Challange, but it just keeps directing me back to the same page where I clicked the links to sign up. Hoping whoever moderates this can help.
