[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 1215380, member: 160246"] [USER=288779]@JessT24[/USER] on medication or off, testing helps us maintain our blood glucose goals. It's our teacher, our guide...our friend. Not getting a good night's sleep often causes BG levels to rise. Exercising helps us maintain good blood glucose control, also helps us knock high BG levels down.

I love testing now. After many months of walking every day or every other day, I discovered I could knock high BG levels down by as much as 40 mg/dL sometimes. Later by up to 80 mg/dL. When I made discoveries like that I felt empowered. I encourage you to give testing a try. My experience is that the more people do it, the more they want to do it. :) [/QUOTE]
