I try to keep my numbers low, so no spiking. It has been very good to do. I rarely get over 100. Very important to stay level.

Thankfully I have normal glucose so that is easy just staying away from simple carbs.

Losing weight would be number one for you. Without the simple carbs weight comes off pretty nicely. Extra weight is serious for many reasons. The supplements are great but a normal weight is so important.
