hi please check your fasting blood sugar say when you get up in the morning. also check the sugar level at about two hours after a meal . this shouls give you a fairllt clear picture to share with your dr.

I am not in the medical field, so I can only say what sounds right to me. If not diabetic, but just trying to see how your body is handling sugar, I would suggest first thing in the morning and bed time. Other than that you might like to try 1 hr. after a meal to see how your body is handling it. I believe it should take 1 hr. to peak and 2 hr. for your glucose level to be back to normal. Again, I am not a nurse or Dr. so this just comes from personal experience.

I am not sure what you are trying to achieve. Generally speaking blood checks are done before breakfast, before lunch, before dinner, and before bed. These times are chosen to titrate insulin doses and modify diet accordingly. There are obviously other routines, but you need to check with a provider to find what is best for you. Blood sugar can also be checked if a person is feeling symptoms of low or high blood sugar. Blood sugar checks would not be abnormal if you are processing glucose properly (not diabetic). This would not be an indicator of health or improvement in health. (I am a nurse, but not a diabetic.) I am not sure what you are trying to achieve.

I didn't change my routine, but it will vary from person to person on how your energy levels will be. Pay attention to your body and then decide if you can work or not.

I am not a doctor, but the only thing I see that you haven't tried is taking it with food. I take my Metformin with breakfast, then take one tab ALA w snack around 3:00, then the last ALA w small snack before I go to bed. I also have more energy, and it has cured my neuropathy.

I would say No as well. I have used this product for 13 years. When I am consistent in use my hormones and cycle are predictable. If I miss a day, or so, my cycle is off. The only time I adjust the daily usage schedule is if I need my cycle to change start/stop times due to vacation. :o)

I use the app called digifit. I paid for all the upgrades...I think it was $8 and I don't know if I even use all those capabilities ! But that keeps track of heart rate and calories burned, I also have myfitnesstracker app and I can connect my calories burned into my daily food diary. It's really awesome all he stuff you can do. I love the Jarv!

Dmitry I would recommend testing everyday just to be on the safe side depending on your diabetes type. If you cut your carbs to low you can run a risk of dropping your blood sugar too low. I hope this helps my friend. Resource: http://www.webmd.com/diabetes/understanding-carbohydrates-fiber

Most meters or glucometer companies will give you one with the meter. You can get a spreadsheet from the internet and There is my goto app for Android-Ontrack. This app allows you to track far more than just blood glucose levels. It does weight, steps and a host of other things.

I'm using it currently and I never changed my diet. It works perfectly fine for me and I can't say that I eat the healthiest. The first time you take it, it'll take about a day for it to kick in. I really like this product. :)

I generally tested once a week. Sometimes I tested 2x/wk if I was experimenting with my macros (macronutrient amounts). I've been stable in nutritional ketosis for a number of months now, and my numbers were so stable I stopped testing. BTW, it may be a good idea to also check your glucose levels at the same time. Best time to check is upon arising, fasted. Gives an accurate baseline level, not affected by meals or workouts.

Oh, and I also use an app called MyDays to see my window of ovulation so I know when to start peeing. Its been consistently 13 days after the 1st date of menstruation. I use both and it seems accurate. I did just read about a new app from an ex-Google exec called Glow, which takes the MyDays functionality to new levels with a feedback loop based on data it accumulates from users. I haven't tried it, but it sounds promising from what I read.

A young neighbor recommended this to me. It was a change like night to day FOR ME. My issue was not weight loss and I never considered the sodium issue. My M.D. knows I take this and has not had a negative response. Hope, if you choose to use it, it helps you as much as it did me. PS: as to weight issue...sometimes we are really being too hard on ourselves and problem is not how much, but WHAT we eat. We need to eat often but wisely. I know this because I now weigh half what I did a decade ago--had surgery; but eating right is still an issue because cooking for one and having lost partner knocked me out. Again, good luck

I'm here now is summer, so......But my watch seems normal, I continue to use for 12 hours, it looks all right.In some cases, it will suddenly stop detection for a few seconds, or a sudden increase or decrease heart rate data, but I think it is due to changes of my wearing loose or posture.

My BP was very high when I started taking Hawthorne Gold {176/110} so I stated with 3 a day. One in the morning, one at noon and one at night. I have since reduced that down to just two a day. One in the morning and one at night. My BP yesterday was {122/79} so as you might guess I'm very happy with Hawthorne Gold.

Just pay attention to when to put your drop of blood on the meter. It will indicate by showing a drop next to the picture of the strip. Then in 5 secs it will show you how high your blood sugar level is. My husband's is suppose to be under 140 and the doctor wants mine to be under 120. You see if it is or gets too high you need to tell your doctor and he or she would probably put you on meds. This way you can live longer.

I am really unsure about the belly fat thing. I use it for recovery. I do not drink it every day. Once a week or twice a week at most. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Because I have lymphoma/leukemia (SLL/CLL), I take 18 per day. Was stage 4 last June 2012, now most blood counts normal except platelets, but they are getting better. They can be eaten anyway you want, I eat 5 after breakfast, 5 after lunch, 5 after dinner, and 3 just before going to bed. I chose 18 because I weight about 180 lbs (one seed per 10 lbs). I also chew them well, the better chewed the better it goes into your system. I hope this helps. My wife eats 9 per day, she is healthy, she eats them, not because she is sick or has any cancer. They are just good for her.
