    Tricks To Help With Late Night Hunger Pangs!

    Go Fish? Back-up Plan

    Almost forgot to add that the dill pickles help as a side dish when eating my meals. I noticed my numbers tend to be better if I eat something with vinegar with my meal. Of course you cannot over due it, but it does help.

    Vitamins/supplements Question

    Dr. Snoody, thank you for B12 advice. I went out and purchased some of the B12 in a spray and I cannot believe the boost in energy the spray has given me. I am tracking my numbers to see the before and after numbers to determine if I want to continue. I must admit I do like the burst of...

    Coffee/beverages

    Funny thing is since my diagnosis I have not had one drop of alcohol. I read it does not mix with the metformin. I do have a bottle in the kitchen that used to make bourbon steak.

    Coffee/beverages

    Jaynet, thanks for your reply. My first cup of coffee in the morning is usually with a tsp of coconut oil with full cream plus a sprinkle of cinnamon. I drink a lot of water throughout the day, I must admit it does get boring. Last cappuccino for me was before the diagnosis.

    Vitamins/supplements Question

    I totally understand, I tend to gravitate around three main veggies, broccoli, cabbage and green beans. Just when you read the mainstream media I am missing something, always, and of course they can sell it to me.
