Morning glucose test - higher when cold?

Dorisena, I've struggled all winter trying to get into gear. However, I've kept 20 of the 30 pounds off so I'm happy about that. Have started walking out doors and have found some of the walking indoors has helped with my endurance. One thing I've found that helps my morning test is fasting from 7 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. My numbers are down by 20 points if I do so. Plus, can't get hungry when I'm sleeping. Stress from this crazy virus has affected my numbers as well. Trying not to let it bother me. Been working on a quilt that was given to my by my mother in law 20 years ago. It was one her aunt made that was given to her. It's very fragile and cannot be used on a bed. I've just sort of tacked it together so I can display it over the back of my davenport. Finished it yesterday. Working on a quilt my granddaughter and I started a couple of years ago. All hand sewn. So far just piecing it together. Can't wait for the weather to warm up a few more degrees so I can start working outside. My son and family may come next week to help tear down a building plus help with other odd jobs. Stay safe. Stay healthy. Katia

It is so good to hear you are doing well. I have been reading on the web and have read a few times that cinnamon will reduce blood sugar numbers, so I put a spoonful of Vietnam cinnamon I bought from a wholesale house into a cup of orange herbal tea and chugged it down. I think it lowered my number to 111 which made me happy, but I was busy on the toilet which is o.k. because I do not like constipation. I will drink some more, but maybe not every day and let you know how it goes. I read that there are a couple of types of cinnamon and this I have is really strong flavored. I am going to have my granddaughter get out my exercise bike and make a gym in the basement as she is laid off from her coaching job and could whip some of us into better shape. I will do the exercise bands but can't bend my knee enough for the bike. I am sewing a quilt top for a neighbor who quilts them on her machine and donates them. I also knitted a pair of socks for granddaughter's boyfriend as knitting relaxes me. Dorisena.
