I need to eat more pasta.
 

Yesterday, I was sweating and had the shakes when I got up. My FBG was 44.
I immediately ate a heaping tsp of granulated sugar, which brought it up to
86.

I've now cut back on my Thai herbs from 500 mg morning and night to 200.

Today, I had pan fried asparagus & mushrooms, with a little sweet sausage
and a lot of grated Asiago. Sauce was mayo. 2 Tbs of watermelon for
dessert. Geshmacked! BG before 65. One hour after, 71.

A slice of peperoni pizza would be nice about now. ;-)

Given that a lot of these herbal remedies are beta cell pushers - I'd
want to know exactly what they did before going near them.

Understood, Nicky. I mostly take the leaves of Andrographis Paniculata.
Sometimes, I get bitter melon in soups, which I love. A rare treat is
blanched neem siamensis dipped in Jun's Thai hot sauce. They are all bitter
and considered "cold" in Asian folk medicine. I've come to like their
bitterness.

Bitter melon is a straight - but mild - beta pusher. Neem does all
kinds of things. No idea on the Andrographis Paniculata. hope the
reduction in dose has done the trick... I know what you mean on the
bitterness. I'm rather fond of bitter melon myself - I use an Indian
pickle recipe for preference, it's "karela" over there.

Neem is called Sadau in Thai. Andrographis Paniculata is Fatalajon; widely
used from China to India, with different names.

FBG's have been in the 60's to 80's. Jun says I don't eat enough. ;-)
