| 2009-08-14 | rumi allen | 8 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | thanks i just want to comment that blood sugar in the 90s puts a person in risk for heart problems - therefore the optimal FBS for non-diabetics is between 81-86 my main concern was to reduce my FBS to mid 80s without losing weight which i cannot afford i did not get anwer to that besides being referred to dietitian. cutting down on sugar is easy to say than done especially when one is unerweight |
