I think some of my variations are because of differences in
absorption, as well as bouts with anemia when I don't feel so great
and therefore don't move around as much as I should. Also, my insulin
(since 1962) just sometimes just has seasonal or various other
unexplainable (stress?) shifts. Maybe it's just that butterfly
fluttering in Brazil!
