Chh...changes
I have a stricter regiment concerning food now.
I'm told this is necessary while you're on insulin if you would like to get control of sugar.
So, 7 am sugar check/ belly pokes...💉
8am breakfast : protein, small amount of carbs (piece of whole wheat toast), and then depending on carb count ...I can add a few berries , glass of milk
I can no longer reach for food as comfort or just because I want it.🐷
There are carb free and low carb foods I can have:vegetables, most protein,
sf jello, pickles,olives, cheese, nuts..
🥦🥬🥚🧀🍗 🫖
But ,mostly I am not eating between meals.
12 is lunch, same formual ,all meals are.
Today is going to be a tuna wrap with veg, cutie orange, and water
5pm dinner may look like : piece of chicken, broccoli, 1/2 a potato, and fruit.
I have one snack and that is between 9-10 pm.
I find having this snack makes my blood sugars lower in the morning. 🌅
I cannot go any higher than 15 g of carbs, but it's better if it's zero to three grams.
So, anything from the list of foods above is what I'm going to have for a snack,mostly.
Tonight ,it's two boiled eggs. 🥚 🥚
This kind of thing used to drive me crazy and I didn't realize how anybody could live on a schedule for eating.
But, I'm doing okay.😃
Right now, at this time and place, I'm not missing the sweets and I'm very happy to be alive.♥
