In this case, it is recommended to be checking sugars 1-2 hours after eating instead of before meals.

Eating sugar or carbs causes surges in insulin levels... and having high insulin levels stores those carbs and sugars as fat. By reducing the absorption of sugar and carbs with food, Sugar-Blocker can promote weight loss secondary to lowering insulin levels. However, it is important to eat low carb meals for the weight loss effects to have the best chance at working. Eating too many carbs and sugars can overwhelm the receptors so that the herbal ingredients don't have a chance to work. This formula cannot compete with an extremely poor diet. You can do this! Even small changes can have great benefits. Our formula will likely provide an additional edge to patients who are already engaged in weight loss programs.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCAN I TAKE THIS WITH PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eAlways consult with your pharmacist and healthcare provider before starting any supplements.

Eating sugar or carbs causes surges in insulin levels... and having high insulin levels stores those carbs and sugars as fat. By reducing the absorption of sugar and carbs with food, Sugar-Blocker can promote weight loss secondary to lowering insulin levels. However, it is important to eat low carb meals for the weight loss effects to have the best chance at working. Eating too many carbs and sugars can overwhelm the receptors so that the herbal ingredients don't have a chance to work. This formula cannot compete with an extremely poor diet. You can do this!
