Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I have a question about blood sugar. I am borderline diabetic, so have been trying watch what I eat, exercise, etc.. and I keep track of my blood sugar. One thing I've noticed is that overnight it will go down, then back up again. I think somewhere I read it was called sundowners???? the other thing is that it should go DOWN when you exercise, right? I've been checking it and it hasn't lately been going down..but I've also taken supplements, tinctures etc so today I decided to not eat anything before doing my walking. Before the walk it was 112 After the 30 minute walk it was 134 10 minutes later is was 135 20 min later it was 145 so why would it go UP instead of down?I haven't had anything to eat to interfere... any ideas?????Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Kim, Exercise without recent food intake will force the liver to produce glycogen and triglyceride levels go up, in order to produce energy for the body. People that aren't diabetic or borderline, don't have the extremes in blood levels. I was notorious for not eating half the day, but when I became borderline diabetic, my dietician told me that was the worst thing to do to the body and she mentioned the above. She recommended walnuts or almonds to promote a stable blood sugar in between meals, due to the protein. Hope that makes sense. Lor I have a question about blood sugar.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 I have read on the jars of the natural progesterone that it may cause cancer. Is it worth the risk to use them?

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Sherry, I used to order natural progesterone in a tube that was one of Dr. Lee's recommendations. He was the one who wrote the book on taking natural progesterone for perimenopausal symptoms. I never saw a warning on the label then..that was 3 years ago when I quit. I used to belong to a natural hormone alternatives group where I got excellent information. Many people also used the Women's Pharmacy in Madison for "compounded natural hormones" with success. I felt it helped me at the time, to reduce my symptoms. What brand do you have? If it's natural, it should not cause cancer applied to the skin in the very tiny amount that is recommended. Arbonne is a good brand. I think I had NuWays or something. Some have more progesterone in them than others. Lor I have read on the jars of the natural progesterone that it may cause cancer. Is it worth the risk to use them? Sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Sherry, In my opinion the best endocrine support is to use safe, natural phytosterols that assist the body to produce its own natural hormones again like it was designed to do. I chose to represent the one I think is the best. I don't know if it will help you but it has helped so many others with your concerns and issues. You can buy them retail or I can help you register your own account with the company to get them at the same wholesale rate that I buy them for. Feel free to contact me privately for specific information. Blessings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Lor, I never purchased any. The warning on the jar scared me. I will reinvestigate it. Thanks Sherry Sherry L.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 There may be other states with this requirement; in the state of California, the label of any progesterone cream must state this caution. The progesterone cream where research has shown to cause cancer is in the prescription, synthetic progesterone usually called progestin. Unfortunately, the precautions must be stated on both natural and synthetic creams. > I have read on the jars of the natural progesterone that it may cause > cancer.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 That was the exact warning I read. It was on an over the counter progesterone cream put out by Rexall. Sherry L.
