Eating healthy has never been easy for me and healthier foods were scarce in our household in the beginning. Sounds strange saying that in the Land of Milk and Honey, but it's true. We often made food that cost little to buy but I didn't deny myself Mountain Dew or Little Debbie Oatmeal Pies. Beans, Pasta and eggs were bought and ate often. Macaroni and cheese, was a household staple. Potatoes can be cooked a dozen ways and was cheap so we bought a lot , potatoes have a lot of starch. During the summers we would have alot of fresh produce that was grown locally.
Processed foods and food generally bad for you cost less. Even today eating healthy can get expensive. We do buy alot of fresh veggies now because some of things we like is available all the time. Years ago if an item was grown in the USA, half of the year it was unavailable and you paid a king's ransom for it when it was. Did 22 years of poor eating habits cause this? Genetics and food is the culprit.
Not having sugar is harder than I thought but I have no choice. My next priority is diagnosis and medicine. We are purchasing a glucose meter to monitor me until I can get to the Dr.
