EXTENDED-RELEASE NIACIN & GLUCOSE LEVELS

Well, after 15 years on 2gm ER niacin, I'm still trying to figure out which bedtime snack works best. I'm generally on a moderate carbohydrate diet (about 120 gm per day) and I suspect that if my bedtime snack does not have enough carbs I will get high fasting glucose (about 120 mg/dl). This is...
