comes to carb/BG impact.  *At least for me*

Hi Susan,
I have recently noticed that you say you have reversed all residual
neuropathy with timed release alpha lipoic acid. I am interested in
reversing my residual neuropathy in my right foot... My question is,

When I do a finger prick-test on a fast my glucose reverie. 96 -
after-eating it goes to approx 200: I was uninsured.well now I have
insurance so went for testing.My glucose was 96, but I had been fasting for
12 hours. - My A1C was 5.9 -Apparently my dr. doesn't think I am ...

Is giving blood a good idea? If you are taking medicines, still good?

Mike

loss, it appears that no matter how much weight a T2 diabetic losses,

GlucoWatch?
Does anybody use it?   How does it test the blood without a pinprick?  How
accurate is it?

I recently joined this newsgroup, and I
have been learning a lot.  Something
that caught my eye was post prandial
analysis.  I have pretty fair FBG

My shredded wheat says it has 37 carbs. Further down the list it says
"other carbs 31.  Sounds to me like 68 carbs per serving. Why the
trickery? I just stopped eating it. I don't eat tricky foods.
