NEW YEARS: MONITOR BLOODSUGAR & WEIGHT

[Scotley]

Good luck with the A1c! The no sauce thing is a killer. Watch out for fat free options, they tend to load them up with sugar to make up for the lack of fat. Try more herbs and seasonings. Dry seasonings have virtually no calories. However, watch the sodium content.

All I had a simple hamburger patty. Normally when I do this I bake some chicken but my son wasn't going to eat chicken without either ketchup or some sorta sauce.

Today I am doing something one of diet people said. Do a meat with no cheese or sause. Filling, takes a long time to digest and has little sugar/carbs.

I keep beef jerky around for just that reason. In moderation it makes a great snack with little preparation.

Good luck with the doc and the tests.

Agreed! Though, with the kinds of numbers you've been posting here, it sounds like you should wind up with a reasonably good A1C.

142 and my gut is acking.


I wonder if my no longer drinking soda is messing with me? I used to drink 3-4 liters of Diet Pepsi or Dew a day but stopped nearly cold turkey about 18 days ago. Now I feel like food isn't digesting right. Could my body have shut down some acid production due to the extra acid from soda?

113 yet I had a handful of crackers about 1 1/2 hours ago.

I sincerely hope so. Looking back I have not been under 7.0 for about 2 1/2 years and then it was a 6.9 and a 6.7. Mostly 7.5 with a few 9's. (ouch)

79 and going to bed. Up in 4 hours and AC 1 testing in 6.
