Diabetes Update

After the last 10 days I'm fighting to get things back under control after being blindsided with my niece's addiction. I'm an emotional eater and continuously pick or nibble when I'm stressed. Thankfully with the help of Metaforim my numbers are returning to manageable levels. I'm moving forward with management and continued control of my type 2. 90% of the time I limit calories, carbohydrates, sugar and starchy foods. I eat around 1200-1500 calories a day. I keep carbohydrates & starch to a minimum. I've eliminated 90% of sugars and look for healthier alternatives to my sweet tooth.

Sunday morning I took a small sip of my husband's MT DEW and cringed from the taste. Things with full sugar have become nasty to me. I can't believe I ever loved MT DEW not too long ago. Diet Dr Pepper is the way I roll. I just wish some carbohydrates had the same effect for me as MT Dew did. McDonald's fries have become nasty. No I'm not buying fries for me, I randomly swipe a few from hubby once a month.

Today my blood sugar was 107. I never thought months ago my waking blood sugar would be below 140 .
