Could you explain? Tofu has carbs. Not sure what you're calling " curry " but if it includes rice, then that's lots of carbs, too. What are your bedtime and morning fasting and after-exercise numbers without the oil? Maybe I've missed some message that explains things. Sometimes my messages seem to arrive backwards. Never COULD seem to fix it. sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 When I exercise first thing in the morning before eating anything, it makes my BG go up, instead of down as exercise is supposed to do. Why don't you experiment and see what happens when you exercise after breakfast instead of before. (Wait for your food to digest, of course.)

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Hi Sue... That's what I missed, I think . because in the morning I always get up, drink a couple glass of water and exercise. Maybe i will check it on Sunday (Because I work everday, 6 days a week) thx... cheers, Judith > > > On Monday night, I've checked bg bg before bed time it was 240.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I read about this oil some years ago, I think there are a lot on the net. but my relative suggest me to take this oil along with a lot of successfull stories on diabetes after take VCO. No, i don't eat rice. my lunch at that time just vegetables curry (no rice ) and a slice of fried tofu. My numbers without this oil? and especially lately?...250 - over 300 (sigh....) Seems like I really missed my number some years ago, when I took a good care of my diabetes. My numbers on bedtime and fasting was 90 - 115, and after exercise usually down below 100, depend on what I eat and my activity that day. cheers, Judith > > I don't understand why the oil was supposed to do anything.
