Argh... 6.5 this morning! Totally out of character from my last 3 weeks, my liver must have heard about all the dumping going on. A much more reasonable 4.9 when I arrived home from work before the evening meal.
Had my first ever meeting with my dietitian this morning. Healthcare system only took 3 months to make that happen. After the first 5 mins I took control of the meeting, or else I would have been there all morning. First quoted my stats and numbers over the last 3 months and how I dropped my a1c from 7.4 to 6.2 in 2 months, then went in to diet details. Food I stock up on at home and eat along with how I prepare my meals. (Good oils). Linked that back to my BS testing results before and after meals along with morning fasts.
Got the " you need complex carbs". Told her it spikes me by at least 1 point or more and I can prove it, I was told that is odd. Was also told I need to eat a lot more fruit and that the American and Canadian diabetic associations recommend that I eat x amount of servings. Yeah,....right, how is that advice working for them...? Guess that's why the news keeps reporting that we're on the verge of an epidemic. I did most of the talking...
In the end there was no arguing my numbers and that I'm preparing all my meals from scratch from healthy choices. She asked if I wanted to schedule a follow up for 3 months from now and I politely told her that I was very comfortable in my new life style, and had very good knowledge of my condition and that for now I'd like to continue on my own, but would call her if I had questions. Total amount of my time... Just over 45 minutes of my life that I will never get back.
Really glad that I'm free of having to go back there.
