I am waiting for the day my body allows me to workout again. This is getting old.<BR/><BR/>Good to see you've moved onto other big challenges!PJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01915520044052627933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523416326400575666.post-72642532719311541182008-09-16T07:50:00.000-07:002008-09-16T07:50:00.000-07:00FINE! only salmon burgers and fresh strawberry fro...FINE! only salmon burgers and fresh strawberry frozen yogurt going forward :)Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13247869094266596212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523416326400575666.post-65665186564430563192008-09-16T05:28:00.000-07:002008-09-16T05:28:00.000-07:00Having spent most of my career in statistical mode...Having spent most of my career in statistical modeling and analysis, I can say that the notion that blood glucose levels will remain under the curve of standard distributions makes a very big assumption that all of the elements yielding a predictable outcome are known (e.g. food, exercise, insulin), when the reality is that we know only 3 of perhaps a dozen or more factors.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, one of my favorite quotes applicable to this topic is as follows:<BR/><BR/>"Most chemists believe that the course of a chemical reaction is always predictable. But some catalytic reactions in both inorganic and organic chemistry can behave in bizarre and unruly ways."<BR/><BR/>From Stephen Scott, Clocks and Chaos in Chemistry<BR/>December 2, 1989, <I>New Scientist</I> magazine, Issue 1693Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03286529314567223617noreply@blogger.com
