I'm still engaged in a battle royale with our extended warranty company over how much they are going to pay for.
Because they typically will not let type 2 diabetics have them. We aren’t special enough.

Because Charles, who is feeling better, still doesn't feel up to driving it to CA, so we're going to miss Xmas with the kids. Dammit to hell.
But we're doing OK, he's eating properly, and I haven't lost much because I keep cheating on "his" diet. But I'm enjoying cooking more from scratch, and that he's willing to eat stuff I make that's good for both of us (fish and sauteed bok choy with leftover low-carb stuffing was a recent yummy meal). He's getting closer to quitting smoking too. And he's overall a bit less grumpy than he's been for a long time. So I might wait a bit longer to off him
So now that he’s more stable, we’ve tried small servings of two different versions of potatoes - instant mashed, and a few pieces of real potato cooked with beef stew. Both sent his blood sugar up to 170-200 within an hour, which quickly dropped back down within another hour. Is that normal and OK? Or does that mean he shouldn’t eat potato at all?
