Guest guest Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Are you open to having a glass of wine at bedtime? Some of us find it lowers morning bgs. Any wine will do for the bg effect, red will give an additional cardiac benefit. There are many supplements to try, a very much YMMV kind of thing. The Q10 we have been discussing here to lower bgs and confer all kinds of other benefits. Alpha lipoic acid with oil of evening primrose is another. Then there is l-arginine. The list goes on, but these would be good to start with because they have other benefits along with lowering bgs. However, in order to know what is helping you, you need to add them one at a time with about a week or two in between. I would try them in the order listed, starting with wine. Let us know what you decide to do and how well it works. Helen PS There is always medicine/insulin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Hi , It's Ivana. I was told that Pinor Noir is the best for lowering bg in the a.m. I have been doing this for a while and found it is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 I don't care for reds either. Any wine will help lower bgs, red have other benefits as well. Try a zinfandel, it is less acidic and heavy. I like Beringer, so far the best low priced wine I have found. Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
