Leann and Trish, the only thing that worked to bring my blood sugar down in the morning was to completely cut out starchy food, no bread, no potatoes, etc. Before I did that, it was usually above 100. I could keep it below 120 after meals, but it would always be too high in the morning, so I had to do something, you know?
Leann,
I know you're having a tough time with your job. As far as the crazy period's go, I would have that checked out. It might be fibroids. It says I spelled that wrong, but I don't feel like looking it up. Anyway, I know someone who eventually became anemic from having periods like that, and it was due to fibroids. P.S. I would probably rather you draw my blood next time. I have a nice bruise this morning.
Trish, we are supposed to get down to the 80's by this weekend and early next week. If we lived closer, we could walk together!
Congrats on losing 20 pounds!
I know that it helps.
Fatmad and Synger,
Time to make my coffee! Y'all have a good day!
