The glycemic index and having patients learn what foods are high-index carbs and which ones aren't is a great tool. Glad you're using that. I wish more people would.

I don't think finding you a good glucometer and a nice supply of test strips will be a problem, PB. The reps won't be swinging back around till after the first of the year, most likely. When they do, I'll be happy to see what they have to offer.

I'm impressed enough with what I've read about cinnamon supplementation that I've been recommending the Chinese cinnamon capsules to my patients who are receptive to alternative meds for the last two years. There've been some great indications that cinnamon helps lower LDL cholesterol, too. That's good for someone with metabolic syndrome. PCOS and insulin resistance and elevated LDL are all a part of that syndrome, as I'm sure you know.

If your fasting sugars are in the 90s, you're obviously doing a good job with your diet and exercise already. Those are numbers plenty of people without PCOS could be proud of. Keep checking yourself on both the cinnamon and/or cannabis so you don't supplement yourself into spells of hypoglycemia.
