I personalyl think the key is to keep your own personal blood sugar levels down, regardless if they are generally high compared to an average...does that make sense?. I have always had low blood sugar levels (I only know this from the normal blood sugar tests during pregnancy, the nurss were always surprised saying they see such low readings). So while I think low blood sugar levels are key (I am skipping breakfast -luckily that doesnt seem to bother my body at all- and I also leave gaps inbetween meals (well the few I have) unti lI really feel hungry, I think it is more to do with your own personal levels as opposed to the going below the average level...

raspberry leaf tea naturally lowers blood sugar levels too, you could try drinking that

[auroara78]

and raspberry leaf tea also helps the lining right? so a win-win

I'm glad you got a signature!

I had my fasting levels checked today ... after at least 16 hours without eating (just a caffeine-free Diet Coke last night and a pep tea this morning), it was 83. Is that okay for trying to sway pink? Is it supposed to be lower than that? Or are we just trying to stay down at that kind of level for longer than usual (by not eating breakfast, by reducing protein that keeps blood sugar up/steady longer?).

Should I be nervous/unhappy about that 83? (Also, the lab tech said she was surprised the number wasn't lower after such a long fast -- so I was kind of freaking out that that meant my levels are too high for pink ... or you know, my health, too.)

that's right!
also lowers pH, improves uterine lining, and balances hormones. Many gains
some women find it increases CM, but I haven't had that

My first reading at 8am was 68. She said that anything above 60 is considered normal, so it was very, very low. I dont think 80 is that high to be honest, but I am no doctor ...

You also have a daughter!

I do agree that it is prob. your individual levels that count, but in the world of blood sugar, high is high, low is low - not a lot of room for variation there. Someone goes into the hospital with blood sugar at a certain level and they can tell that's high!!

Were you supposed to drink the pep tea? That may have made a difference.

PLEASE don't anyone start checking yoru blood sugar levels and stuff like that. Don't even think about it. Just skip breakfast, avoid snacks, lose a couple pounds, and don't eat super huge meals that take forever to digest. Your blood sugar WILL go down if you do those things.

For people who REALLY do have high blood sugar levels, your doctor will be able to tell from tests he/she can give you, and can give you medication to help bring that down (these meds sway pink BTW).

Random question....but does vinegar sway?
