Diana, fruit is usually a good snack for keeping blood sugar up and it doesn't have any salt! Oh and when Gary's blood sugar gets too low (cause he takes too much insulin) he is wiped out too - it's common when that happens.

Thanks, Gayle. I have been eating apples in the afternoon and it has been helping. I'm not used to having to worry about snacking so one of my problems is going too long in between eating. Since I'm taking meds for my BS I have to be more cautious about this because it's doing a good job of lowering my BS. I think that I'm borderline on even needing the meds.

It sounds like you are borderline needing meds or not. I bet if you really watched your diet closely and increased your exercise, you wouldn't need meds at all. But meds are not bad - it allows you a little more freedom - maybe you need a slightly lower dose.

I cut the pill in two (and I've talked to the dr. since I've done this) but there's not a lower dose than the half that I'm taking. Like you said, I think that if I watch my diet close enough and get some exercise I could probably get off of the meds.
