My adventure with Niacin continues … I lowered my dose to the starting amount (500 per day, divided) and plotted my blood sugars and the effects of ramping up and lowering were evident, indeed.
In the meantime I had begun exercising, so was feeling pretty optimistic about my ability to handle taking it.
This afternoon I had a snack of yogurt and 1/3 cup blueberries, and went off and had a nap. Not giving the blueberries a second thought … (they have spiked me in the past).
At 5 pm I felt a bit hungry so decided to test — 160. And re-test, 152. My poor husband was on the phone with me at the time!
I did 30 minutes workout on my exbike … and 40 minutes later, re-tested … at 76! And no, oddly, I did NOT feel any discomfort from that rapid of a blip … went on and ate my dinner, gonna do another minutes now.
