I realize you have addressed your response to whatever2013 and I hope you will both forgive my strong desire to comfort and to encourage BethRags.

BethRags, I have not tried Metformin myself; however, I have heard/read of many doing very well on this medication. I hope you have similar results.

Another approach to keeping blood glucose stable is to increase the amount of protein you eat. Eating protein throughout the day/evening is one way of stabilizing blood sugar, especially for someone not yet diagnosed with diabetes and possibly considered "pre-diabetic."

You might get some additional ideas/support on the "physical check-in thread? " If you haven't participated on that thread, started by our wise friend, fern46, please do stop by!
