For the first time in years, my blood glucose has come back normal! I have been borderline for years (with very stern looks from my doctor), so I am so happy to have one less thing to worry about now <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
I was talking with someone awhile ago about sugar, and she was telling me how bad it is for your body in general, so I decided to try cutting back (something my doctors have been trying to get me to do for years).
I was eating about a 2 bags of candy every week (like the M&M pounder bags), and Coke to boost. I cut the candy out and replaced with nuts and pretzels (I can't work and not snack).
I won't say I noticed all the things my friend was talking about, but I don't wake up groggy anymore, and I haven't had my blood sugar drop for a couple of months!
Anyway, I thought I'd share. It has put me into motivation mood for being healthy, and I believe I really WILL ride my bike tonight!
Now I just have to work on my calcium - vit D is at 7 <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">
