Thank you sisters, i am more depressed now .like you

said . I finally got to the acceptence to the fibro,

and now sugar problems as the old folk say.

I got my glucometer and have doing the first thing in

morning, before lunch and 2 hours after a meal and an

hour as the least after my medication. I have had

nothings but 163's,184's190's . i know it will take

the meds to be on board a bit before it hopefully

settles.

So types of food really works for you guys.
