From all I have read re" "Slow mags" and "Natural Calm" I really don't think this is the problem, but I am no expert at all. My son was having difficulty sleeping and experiencing anxiety and a bit of depression (I sure hope he has not inherited THAT!) He purchased Natural Calm a month ago at a Health store in Toronto and has found it amazing.....he sleeps well, anxiety is gone and he is back to his happy self. He is urging me to try it and I think I will. Hopefully you will find out what is causing higher glucose readings. Congrats on the 152 pounds. You inspire everyone here with your wealth of information and links to so many excellent sites and videos. Thank you! Have a great week-end.
