This is a great sign! It shows that either a) your pancreas is making more insulin than it was before, or b) your muscles are becoming more sensitive to insulin. Either way, it shows you are actually REVERSING your disease. Keep up the great work, lady!

A dietician told me years ago the best thing to eat for breakfast is leftovers from last night's dinner. It took a little while to get into it, but I've found that last night's chicken and veggies or Swiss steak makes a killer, filling breakfast that keeps me feeling stable and satisfied all the way until lunch.

I'm betting it was the vitamins. Chances are good you are sensitive/allergic to something in the tablet besides the actual vitamins, like a dye or binder. Try switching brands on the multivitamin. Do you have problems with metal allergy? If that is the case, try a multivitamin without minerals. (Maybe change out the tubing…

The DASH diet is basically a very sensible eating plan that includes loads of veggies and fruits. It is the only diet that actually lowered blood pressure when tested in clinical trials. The study participants were instructed NOT to lose weight during the study, and if they did lose weight they were required to eat more…
