The Metaforim with the help of a low carb and low sugar diet I'm seeing real progress. 128 is my current glucose reading . A tad high but I'm almost there. It's much better than readings a week ago . I may need to adjust my diet or just tweek it a little because It's working. But need to reintroduce some foods back to my diet. Like dairy, potatoes and grains. Small amounts here and there won't hurt.
When I started have significant spikes in blood glucose I banned a lot from my diet. Now since the medication is working I feel more stable. A lot more willing to eat more foods but only in moderation.
This weekend we will fire up the grill. I'm mentally planning the menu. I found a recipe for a cucumber, tomato and onion salad that would make a good side. But it has 1/4 cup of sugar in it. I wonder if I can swap the sugar for splenda? And how much to use. The recipe also has vinegar, water and cracked black pepper.
I'm also thinking about grilled eggplant. My husband finds it repulsive but I like it. It has Alot of nutrients I'm missing. And because I'm married to a carnivore, hubby will grill Brat Worst, Hot Dogs and Cube Steak. He loves meat, Alot of meat. We been known to grill 4-5 different meats for a meal. Of course I will most likely eat just cube steak as a sandwich if we can find the thin , whole wheat hamburger buns that is low in carbohydrates.
A meal of a hamburger (cube steak), eggplant and cucumber/tomato/onion salad sounds very good to me. Grilled meat also has less fat, which makes it healthier and helps with weight loss.
Losing weight is more than fitting in my bikini this year.It's for my health and to get the diabetes under control. It's about trying to stay healthy so I don't need insulin shots in the future.
I'm a 42 year old great aunt and grandmother. I want to see them all grow up and graduate ,even Levi Dylan who won't arrive until August. A girl can only dream and hope.........
