| Hey Jill:
I think timing of WHEN we eat has as much to do with BS levels as WHAT we eat. If I eat something with more carbs at lunchtime, my levels do not go up as much. If I have something like eggs/egg beaters and bacon/turkey bacon for dinner, my am BS levels are great! i'm also not as hungry.
I know you're afraid to gain weight...that's my greatest fear, as I have so much to lose, but you might want to try having a piece of cheese just before bed maybe for 2-3 days and just see what it does. And aren't nuts supposed to be good for you, the good type fats? You have to do what you're most comfortable with, but you will feel much more in control as your levels stabilize....which they should as your meds take better effect.
Hang in there!
Linda
