Is she taking metformin?

Many people crash in the afternoon. That is why the Brits have tea time!

This is the first dip in cortisol for the 24 hr day.

Beauticians also suffer alot of standing stress, and handling and smelling all those chemicals! I've known some who get carpal tunnel too.

It is hard to say what is going on with her, but sometimes a glucose reading doesn't reflect what the body wants. Insulin resistance involves blood sugars that cannot get into cells.
So the person may test a bit high, but the cells are still sending starving signals.

A reading of 500 is not "bad", but it may be borderline if she is taking metformin or using acid blocking drugs. It may be coming down, at the time of the test, from a higher number.
The B12 can't hurt, but it may not fix her fatigue.
