Sounds good, I’ll try it.
Sounds good, I’ll try it.Cheese seems to lower my BS...If I have an apple on its own, my BGL's will rise, not a lot, but if I have a baby bell cheese with it, no rise at all. I will have a small apple with cheese, twice a week, sometimes with a glass of red wine
Let me know how you get onSounds good, I’ll try it.
It must be, as it works for me every time..I am pre-diabetic so it really does help meI suspect that is because the fat in the cheese slows down the glucose rise. This is one of the difficulties for type 1s when eating fat alongside carbs. The insulin often needs to be injected later and many people split the dose.
Thankyou.It must be, as it works for me every time..I am pre-diabetic so it really does help me
What would he considered as a fatty protein? I am trying so hard to get my bg down and I seem to be winning but the dawn phenomenon is really winding me up.My opinion is your stomach needs to switch off but if constantly full, how can it? However the liver loves fatty protein before bed to save it dumping glucose. Glucose it has stored deliberately for dumping. If you block the liver dumping over time it gets rid of fatty liver. If you hv one. The liver needs to be right to help your metabolism process work well.
Myself I have to eat regularly but only inject insulin if my levels become high. As I hv a background insulin injected on a morning for my hugely obese body. For my size I'm not producing enough insulin until I become smaller. Food needs insulin too. I would be mad to inject 6 times on top of injecting for background need.
I wouldn't encourage constant insulin need but a fatty protein before sleep worked brilliant for me to prevent me waking on higher bgs after a sleep.
If I'm low carbing I didn't add milk to my coffees.
Slight aside but having a gallbladder removed doesn’t automatically mean fats are a problem. (Myself and a number of other have discussed this several times). A sudden high dose can definitely be problematic. It can help enormously if you increase the amounts very slowly and consistently. It allows bile production to be anticipated and stepped up to meet the higher demands but it does take time. ( we now trickle feed rather than store and dump bile on demand but that trickle can be turned up a few notches and a pseudo bladder can sometimes form out of the remaining duct to help). Possibly it helps to do this relatively soon after surgery (as in the first year not days!) so that it becomes part of the readjustment post surgery but I’m sure the body can adapt to some extent in most people even after many years of no gallbladder. Bile salts are another possible source of help if needed.Because of the impact of having my gallbladder removed I cannot manage on just 2 meals a day, as too much fat in a meal causes massive bloating and then diarrhoea. But I comprised by waiting at least 12 hrs, usually 14, between the night before snack and a late breakfast, then 5-6 hrs till the next meal, and two snacks of greek yogurt/nuts/cheese/dark chocolate in the evening.
90 seconds bread sounds awesome.Fatty protein to me which I will have before bed if I am hungry is a spoon full of peanut/almond butter which does the job of stopping the hunger. I suppose Greek yogurt would do but nuts have more protein.
Try 90 secs bread - 30g ground nuts ( ground almonds/walnuts or any others you can find ready ground!! ) 1/2 teaspoon baking powder , salt to taste in a small microwave dish, whisk in 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of Olive oil. Put in microwave for 90 secs - let cool , slice in half and toast!! Spread with butter .
Protein has roughly half the insulinogenic effects as carbohydrate. In the absence of carbs (very difficult unless on full carni diet)I didn't overeat but other heath problems restricted weight loss (which I desperately need) but protein started raising my bgs in carb absence.

Not at all. The first stage insulin response is triggered by enzymes in the saliva reaching the stomach. If the smell of food makes one drool in anticipation, then this can be sufficient to trigger insulin. The problem arises when there is actually no food to follow so the second stage insulin response does not get triggered. Stage 1 is fast acting and short duration and it has the function of attacking the simple carbs ie sugars that cause the sugar spike. Stage 2 follows on and is designed to keep going until bgl sugars start dropping off, and this stage is the one that is supposed to switch off the flow of insulin before the hypo stage, and is the main regulatory control mechanism. If stage 2 is not triggered then insulin remains at higher levels for longer in the presence of Insulin Resistance,Is this an attempt at humour?
I am a Prediabetic. Thankyou for your advise, very helpful. I am a nibbler and can’t stop munching all day but being cautious now and trying to snack on healthy snacks.
Thannkyou but it is not easy.Better to try to curb all snacks. Even healthy snacks produce that insulin response. Eat low carb high healthy fat diet and this will help with hunger.
It gets easier. Make sure you have enough at each meal, especially fats. Once the carb rollercoaster flattens out and you stop craving as much you can adjust the fats down a bit if you prefer.Thannkyou but it is not easy.
The hardest part is when you are on some kind of diet and the rest of the family eats normally. The temptation of eating carbs seems appealing. I have been a lover of baking and temptation is always there to eat. Still have to try hardier to change bad eating habits. Thankyou for your input.Let the whole eating and hunger system reduce and the urge to eat becomes just a nudge which if ignored tends to reduce further.
I find that these days I can eat in the morning and again in the evening and not feel hungry. I do have two proper low carb meals and a couple of cups of coffee, so I am not doing low calorie, and I feel absolutely fine with 12 hours between meals.
That's not true. I can very easily overeat on fat.And you can't do that with healthy fats because it is so satiating that it is almost impossible to overeat on it.
I may have to experiment with grade A* protein though
I said 'almost impossible'. Which is true.That's not true. I can very easily overeat on fat.
