Sid, of course controlling glucose levels is the best thing for diabetes, but I was specifically asking with regard to inflammation.
Peppergirl, thank you for your really helpful response. I am starting (again) the Blood Sugar diet tomorrow, which I found amazing for normalizing my blood sugar, but I have a complicated problem with carbs, sugar in particular - I comfort-eat!!! So along with all the other positive stuff the diet will bring, I am hoping that it will help my trigger fingers. I do not want to have to take any more chemicals. Hope yours continues to improve.
