[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 1463757, member: 160246"] Congrats on your discovery [USER=384920]@Rockwannabe68[/USER]. Delighted you're using a glucose meter...it truly is our friend! I share your experience. Type 1's have insulin, type 2's have exercise to knock a high glucose level down. Twenty minutes of walking - (typically 1 1/2 hours [I]after[/I] the meal) - works best for me. On the rare occasion when I eat a meal that is digesting slowly, causing a [I]second[/I] glucose rise, I walk a second time an hour or so after the first walk. But most of the time, one brisk twenty minute walk is all that's needed. I'm unable to drink beer because I have a gluten sensitivity, but I do tolerate a glass of dry red wine well. During the warmer months, a low carb beverage that I enjoy is a 1/2 lime and a 1/2 lemon freshly juiced, divided between two pre-chilled glasses, a few leaves of fresh mint muddled in the bottom of each glass - (I use the end of a wooden spoon) - 4 ounces of sparkling water, and a few drops of Stevita, a pure liquid extract made from Stevia leaves. Stir, add ice, and enjoy. I recently learned that stevia is also available in a pure powdered form so will try that this summer. When sweetening a beverage with Stevita, add no more than 2 drops at a time, stirring and tasting before adding more. A little stevia in goes a long, long way! It doesn't matter whether you use liquid or powdered stevia, just find some that's pure with no additives. I use it because it's natural. Or use the low carb sweetener of your choice. You'll need to adjust the amounts of juice to sparkling water to your own tastes of course, but when drinking socially, it helps to have low carb beverages to drink too. Congrats again! [/QUOTE]
