Most of the stuff I eat doesn't drive it all that much from what I can see. I'll take the lessons from this exercise, but there are probably people who can benefit by having one better than I.

The weight loss has reduced my requirements for a blood pressure medicine as well. I still take valsartan, but am on a much lower dose.
