| Know where your coming from.. I have had worse numbers approaching 200 a few times this winter. And yet I can get a very reasonable number after eating a seemingly similar meal at times. It is rather confusing because it doesn't seem to be an exact situation, but varies for who knows what combination of things. Sounds confusing doesn't it..
For my self I have rediscovered that if I incorporate a high fiber item into the meals it appears to keep the number much better. I have had readings in the low 120's after meals that might have caused a 180 or better a few months ago. It started with eating a high fiber muffin with breakfast and usually with the evening meal.. I know on face value adding a muffin that uses raisin bran among other things seems a contradiction, but some how it works.. I remembered the articles that said by adding a fourth of a meal in high fiber helped keep numbers down..
I had returned to the Slacia Oblonga also for a time and it does seem to help in my case. But the suppliers of it are becoming less reliable and I was concerned about the quality of the product being shipped from India where it is a major diabetes reduction product. When I mentioned it again to a near by health food store owner he suggested that several of his customers had had good results taking a product called Alpha-Fibe FBC by Bio-form. He claimed up to a 25% reduction in numbers after meals. It is actually a weight loss product, which can't be all bad for many of us. It works in a similar way to the Salcia in that it binds the fats and somehow keeps the sugars from entering the blood stream rather passing it though the digestive track.. So it gives the same sort of gassy effect that some medications do and the salacia does.
But the results so far have been interesting. I have had among the lowest readings after meals in a long time since I started taking one with breakfast and usually at supper time. It could be worth a try, I would be interested to see if any one else finds the same results?  |
