Four months ago I was diagnosed with diabetes. My current fasting blood level is 106.8. This is a drop of nearly one whole point. My blood sugar count two hours after eating is 123.1, which is about a point higher than it was two weeks ago. I continue to experiment with various foods. Im not eating as much, though I find I snack a bit more, though its mostly protein which doesnt spike my blood sugar. I do continue to count carbs. I drink very little soda, and only small amounts of chips. I eat a lot of cheese and meat, but I do crave certain things. I try to eat those from time to time to keep the cravings minimal. Its a trick of sorts. If I CANT have something, I WANT it more. I try to eat less as night approaches, but Ive also learned to eat some carbs before bed time to keep the liver from producing glucose (which it isnt supposed to do, but its picking up the slack from the pancreas which is damaged in all diabetics). Ive come to accept Im damaged, but I can still do this. I adapt. I persevere. I overcome.
