[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 272368, member: 40343"] This weeks update all pretty boring. The CoQ10 isn't causing any problems so good. I started taking some Magnesium as it was supposed to be good for cramp and blood pressure. Certainly working on the BP an average drop of 10 on the top number, nothing on the cramp though as on the one day I ran out of tonic water the cramp was back the next morning. BG wise all very uninteresting except for this evening. 7 day average is 5.1, 30 day is 5.0 and 90 day is now down to 5.3. Today have been at the eldest's (T1) for dinner. He of course knows MW is now a fully fledged VLC convert with me averaging around 50g at the moment. He had prepared in advance and a full roast dinner awaited! Well he read us right and we both went for it big time, roast potatoes, yorkshire pud, gravy, the full monty and then I went back for one more roast pot and another yorkshire. Sod it you only live once... However being his old man I had expected this plan and took the full array of weaponary with me. So 1000mg of Metformin, 2500mg of Bitter Melon and 800mg of Gymnema all consumed pre starting. "Trust in the herbs Luke" :twisted: From a 4.7 start the result was at 1 hour 7.1, 2 hours 5.6, 4 hours 4.9 no alcohol to help just a glass of diet coke. Now just for comparison had nigh on the same meal back on Feb 24 (yes I know how sad it sounds I know that :oops: ) The results then with a similar 1000mg Metformin dose and only 3 days into starting this thread and just taking Cinnamon was at 1 hour was 9.8 and 2 hours 8.6 1 -0 herbs methinks :lol: [/QUOTE]
