My Friend (the one I'm making the cookbook for) said that her blood sugar is
going crazy and the only thing that changed is that she has her TOM she also
has thyroid problems could it be her TOM messing with her sugar levels?

I told her that I would check with you guys to see if anyone has had the
same problem.

TIA

BG usually goes up pre-TOM, then back down again, HMMV. Thyroid can screw
it up really bad from what I hear. She may need the thyroid meds adjusted,
but I understand that takes a while to kick in.
If she isn't online print out:

even if she's been diabetic for a long time.

Thanks I'll be sure to print that up for her... She is a new Diabetic she,
if I'm right is on Avadamet (so am I) I have Metabolic Syndrome but she is
much closer to full blown diabetes then I am.I dont know what she is on for
her thyroid.. I'm trying to do everything I can to help and support her in
every way.
