Think there might be a connection?

I am back at work. My eyes hurt and I have a headache. I have not had a headache since... Friday night. Hm.

My work team-mates are awesome. They brought me a bowl of strawberries and sugar-free Milano cookies with a candle set among them instead of a cake. And a really sweet card. *snif*

Happy Belated!

You know, I keep meaning to be nosy. Is the no-sugar thing just personal preference or due to a health condition?

It's a personal preference. I try to do low-carb: no sugar/starch. My dad had Type 2 Diabetes (well, I suppose he still does, but after he lost a ton of weight he doesn't have to really monitor himself any more) and I don't really want it.

On a related note, I was at Target buying sugar-free candy (Dove! Dark Chocolate! With raspberry!) for the movie the other day. The cashier commented, "Oh, I always go to the dollar store and get Charleston Chew" (or something similar). I said, "I don't do sugar." She replied, "Oh, neither do I. I have diabetes. I get them for my kids." I was literally without words.
