Welcome Snowhite...

I have heard so many things about tanning and the actual blood sugar rising, I am not too sure. I can speak from my experience, I was at the beach last weekend, disconnected for a good 2-3 hours, and nothing happened. Later on that evening, I had a slight rise, but corrected immediately, and evertyhing was good and had a nice tan too.. lol
I would think than tanning beds would maybe have the same effect , or even less, than the actual sun.
