    Any advice on wheatgrass juice powder and apple cider vinegar

    I will report back in a few weeks. Apparently you take a shot of wheatgrass in the morning before breakfast or it can be mixed in a smoothie, and drink diluted apple cider vinegar before meals or else with a meal. I am pleased to hear you haven’t had any adverse effects with metformin.

    Any advice on wheatgrass juice powder and apple cider vinegar

    I was diagnosed in early 2016 and my hbc1a results have been 37, 37, 40, 42, 47, 51 and last week 43 after going as low carb as I could.
