      From Sisterhood October 18, 2008

      Soooo Having trouble controling sugars....can I make some suggestions....I have mine pretty well happy...but don't ever have it completely controled....I take a cinnamon pill for mine....and I exercise for an hour every day.....even if that exercise is to mop the floor...or pedal some pedals without a bike...or my stationary bike.....at first I dispaired over the bike.cause it seemed to make the b. sugar higher..but I kept at it....and found that once it settled in ....my blood sugar stayed a steady 89,,,I don't know as I was losing weight..cause muscle weighs more than fat.....and I was losing size...but I now know I have lost 23 more pounds....every ounce counts...and my blood pressure needs WORK....You can do it.. Hugs Laurel
