Interesting topic. I have always thought I had blood sugar level issues, but not to the level of diabetes. My headaches can cycle along with mealtimes, but not always. Maybe someday I’ll figure out what my issue is. Thanks. I sure wish I was closer to Dr. Cohen’s clinic.

Apparently migraine prevents against type 2 diabetes

Very interesting topic. Thank you for sharing. It is always interesting how certain drugs can help with different medical issues. I am also glad you said this is something you need to talk with your headache doctor about. None of us with migraine are a one size fits all and it is usually many different things that we need to look at to help reduce migraine.

Thank you for sharing! Agreed, it is important to collaborate with your healthcare practitioner and find something that works best for you.
