I think it is similar to a few low carb diets... Sounds like it works for diabetes and weight control. I have done Atkins before but found it was too restrictive. Wondering if anyone here has used WB.

I was wondering if any Dr has tested your cortisol levels ? An 8 am blood test for cortisol may show if you are deficient. The body starts making cortisol around 4am and this peaks around 6am in a healthy person... which then gives us the energy to get up, and make the day work. This level then...

Yes, that was my previous 3 results... fasting BGL of 6.3. Crossing fingers then ...maybe I am winning.

How close are the finger prick tests to pathology tests? I tested yesterday in the waiting room about 5 mins before my fasting blood test. I got a 5.3 which is MUCH better to the last year of 6.3 ( at pathology) but I am curious how accurate the finger prick tests are. I did a finger prick...
