Does anyone have any ideas for science experiments involving diabetes/blood sugar?
It needs to be fairly simple, probably just testing how a specific variable affects my blood sugar level.
I could always do exercise, but I already know what that does to my blood sugar and would like something more interesting =)
They say things like chromium, cinammon, and other vitamins lower blood sugar. You could take one of these for a while and observe the results. You could always do the low carb thing, reduce your carb intake for a couple of weeks, and look at the difference in your readings. I’ve done atkins in the past, and though they say you should drop to 20 grams of carbs per day for the first two weeks, even reducing your intake to 50-100 would probably yield some good results. Hope this helps!

when a person eats there blood sugar goes up it depends on what they eat on how high it will go . to lower it most people just uses time but those who have a problem with there sugar uses meds to lower there sugar level.
