Stay away from the plasmon5.3 this morning. Something seems to be working - Painting and decorating finished so not so much physical exertion to inflame my stenosis or is it that I have been eating much less protein over the last couple of days - definitely seeing levels I'm more comfortable with during the day. Happy with that.
Was going through an old 1948 cookery book (26th Edition) and came across a "Diet for diabetics" , makes very interesting reading. Its out of copyright so ok to post.
You have my sympathy. As the song goes, the more I find out the less I know. Hope you find the right way for yourself. Yours, bewildered of SuffolkLife with T2 is a perplexing conundrum at times.![]()
Thanks @DJC3 it was pretty tough, haven't taken exams for 20 years. Results due in July, so a while off.5.4 which was a nice surprise. Still feeling ropey so didn’t eat much yesterday.
@Providence 62 I hope your exams went well, you have worked hard preparing for them, so best of luck for the results. Good BG control under the stress too.
I was doing the same thing, just about eating carnivore every day for quickness. Bloods were fairly ok but on the high side of what I like to see; hovering around low 6s high 5s during the day. Last couple of days I have have reduced my protein considerably had broccoli and spinach cheese bake the first day and yesterday it was leek and mushroom cheese bake. Likely my cholesterol will be shooting for the stars as both are made with cream, butter and cheese, but I don't care - bloods were 4.7 at lunchtime. - definitely an improvement - a conundrum and always perplexing.7.9 today.
Going to have to rethink this , have increased protein, reduced fat, and only carbs from vegetables last few weeks. Probably got it wrong. Going back to a cheese and bacon with butter on veg sort of diet, and doing more research before making changes again. Of course, another variable is the seasonal allergies. There could be other factors I am not even aware of. Life with T2 is a perplexing conundrum at times.![]()
