Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 When I went to bed, about 1 AM (I work nights) my BS was 124, then at 6 AM it was 132, then when I got up at 10 AM it was 146 again. I immediately had a low carb breakfast and took my medication. It went up to 156 but then went down to the low 100s and has stayed there all day. My BS during the day runs in very good levels. On a good note, I tried half an orange today. Pre-orange BS was 104. I then had half an orange and a piece of string cheese for my snack. It only went up to 109 later. Has anybody tried alpha lipoic acid and evening primrose oil? I am reading a book on natural remedies for diabetes and the author recommends these. Margaret Quote

If you only have added 6's they are the wrong kind and can be off balance. Increase omega 3's instead. Alpha Lipoic acid does work. Quote
