Yes it does! Not exactly the chosen title of this blog but was advised by hubby to change my wording. I was afraid of the censure fairy.
The reason why diabetes sucks mountain oysters is the following...( if your an international reader check Google or Wikipedia for the definition.)
My glucose was 103 at 11:00 last night and 149 at 7:00 this morning took Metaforim and ate breakfast (1/2 hash Brown and 1 egg). Around 11:30 rechecked glucose it was 113. Headed to Walmart to pick up groceries for cookout , sugarfree snacks, almonds and some glucose testing strips for ReliOn meter.
Hubby fired up the charcoal grill fixed hamburgers (1/3 lb black Angus), hotdogs and bratwurst. I also bought Lays Stax .
I ate 3 sugarfree wafers, a hamburger with tomato and onion on a bun , a bratwurst on a bun with mustard and 2 strawberries. Not a large amount of food. Almost 2 hours later I tested my glucose it was 259. I just took my Metaforim but can guarantee its still too high. A little bit ago I was seeing stars.
My friend who's also diabetic ate a hotdog, bratwurst, and hamburger all on a bun. Plus 2 hotdogs without bread. Potato chips and 1/2 pint of fresh strawberries. Her glucose raised to 160. She ate more bread, fruit and chips than I did plus hotdogs and didn't see drastic spike.
I'm in no way bitching about the amount of anyone ate. I'm bitching about how unfair diabetes is. Maybe I'm more medically fragile than my friend, and food affects me differently. The strange thing is we both have type 2 diabetes.
It sucks...
