| I had a great day today. I was able to keep on my moderately constructed carb diet and am still in the process of lowering my overall bs. Today I did not have one reading over 180, for me that is big news. Plus, I had a wasa cracker with my egg and a wasa cracker and banana with tuna for lunch, and pasta for dinner. So this is going to work as long as I really accurately count the carbs and do not go over my limit of 30-30-45. This is doable for me. I did cardio glide today and one long walk before the pasta dinner. When I was low carbing, I would just not be satisfied with the menu. I am getting ready to take my evening Lantus injection and I have been able to reduce that amount.
I am not an expert on insulin, so I cannot answer any questions.
All I know, is a radical diet and strict control with a super low bs is just not possible with my love of food. I would be kidding myself to think I could survive past a few weeks. It's good to know I have company out there. There is a big trend in no carb and low carb, and those people are pioneers in many ways.
But I am always the moderate. I do like to put a limit on carbs when the bs are high for other reasons than meal blunders.
And thats enough suffering for me. To be able to eat normally again is a blessing. I felt like a failure at first, but apparently there is something about my body and my insulin resistance and my insulin response where low carb was not helping much. I just cannot understand it because so many others have big success with it. Maybe more will be studied and understood regarding this national trend. And thank you thank you thank you for all the low carb options available in the supermarket now. God bless Dr. Atkins!  |
