Little Pet Peeve

From time to time, I'll see diabetics on Facebook pages, blog comments, twitter, etc. refer to their blood - sugar numbers as "bs." This is a pet peeve of mine, albeit small.

The correct abbreviation is "BG" - for blood-glucose.

"BS" is an abbreviation for bull$h!t ... also known as "bovine-scatology."


So, for clarity:

BG
indicates your blood-glucose or blood sugar numbers.

BS indicates when your diabetic doctor or DIEtician says "healthy whole grains" are a necessary part of your diet and that they don't raise BG numbers.
