Can't believe the nurse told me to eat Marie biscuits (about 4 biscuits/day as a snack). I read the nutritional info and it has about 19 g of sugar per 100 g which I find too high. Yesterday I ate 4 biscuits and a cup of milk at about 10pm before bed, woke up at 6am and my fasting blood glucose level was 103 mg/dL. It's okay yes but I am personally aiming at lower BG fasting levels like 80-90 mg/dL.
She also told me that I could eat beans, rice (whole), potatoes and other starchy things I don't recall now, only 1/4 of a plate. I don't think that's good though especially when you are overweight or obese and want to (or must) lose weight. Am I wrong here?
As to bread she recommended rye or carob bread with butter and if I want a sweetener she told me to use a teaspoon of honey instead of jam. Today I had a small slice of carob bread with butter and a tiny bit of honey and coffee with milk. I am waiting to check my postprandial BG.
