Active Control
Group I: Luna Bar InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will be asked to monitor their blood sugar during migraine. Study data will also include blood glucose levels, pain severity, 24-hour food diary, 24-hour exercise diary, duration of sleep, perception of quality of sleep, and last menstrual period.
