I have just spent the last 2.5 hours reading all the references above. Thank you all. I don't know how much of the information I will retain but the explanations make sense.

The one thing that boggled my mind was the recommendation of exercise. When your feet are screaming at you, standing and walking is excruciating. So I can only assume the reference is relative to "usually" or upper body exercises.

Since my insulin levels have not been tested - or BG either for that matter - I will "act as if" they are not in the normal range.

Thank you again, all of you for your suggestions and references. I appreciate the time you have taken to help me.

I am still trying to decide about the tart cherry juice. A full glass should ruin my carb control - no?
