I had some plain polenta this evening and found that it didn't cause a
major spike at an hour or two hours. So for now, it's a safe food.
96 pre, 129 1 hour post. 120 2 hours post.
I'll fiddle around with 1 and 2 hour readings and get some more detailed
levels to provide myself with some assurance that I'm doing the right
things.
The initial honeymoon is easing up. For the last couple days, I've had to
remind myself that I'm eating properly because I have diabetes, not
because
I'm on a diet. After a life of "trying to lose weight," and having that as
a constant goal, I'm having a few moments of "aw F* it" that I have to
fight. The first couple weeks, I ate properly because I have diabetes. I
am
now eating properly because I have to remind myself I have diabetes. I
know
I'm not explaining this very well, but I'm ready for the testing and
eating
appropriately to become old hat and commonplace. Or will I have to remind
myself every day that I have diabetes? It's almost habit now to reach for
the meter first thing in the morning, last thing at night, and before and
after meals. So much focus on food.
Consider me having a frustrating moment.
I'm confused. Are you type 1? Because the term "honeymoon" applies only to
them.
For a while I was eating thin slices of polenta for breakfast topped with
some tomato sauce and some pumpkin seeds on the side. Worked for my BG but
I wasn't digesting it well. :(
