To add to above, I wonder sometimes if it is from an over-indulgence of
alcohol and/or genetics.
I have chocolate practically every day (albeit dark) and have a glass of
wine or port, eat lots of bread and never think about whether I'm eating
carbs or starch and my trigl. are (almost) always below 100 -- in my younger
years, they were much higher, but I ate less fruits and veggies. - I just
looked and my last reading in July was 94.
