And today morning I caught the mocking spike after breakfast. But my delusion continues.
For breakfast, I had:
One kiwi fruit
One and a half tablespoon of Chia soaked overnight in half a cup of water and mixed with half a cup of V8 vegetable juice just before consumption
Three dosas - a dosa is a thin pancake made of dough made by wet grinding rice and urad dal and allowing it to leaven
A cup of tea with milk sweatened with Splenda
I was somewhat sure that I would spike. Dosa is carbohydrate rich. In spite of it being smeared with sesame oil during preparation, I don't think its glycemin index is very low. Nowadays I normally take only two. I took three to see if I would spike (3 years ago, before being diagnosed, I used to take 4 or 5).
My morning fasting readings are generally a little high, in the range of 5.5 to 6.5 mmol/L (99 - 117 mg/dL) mostly hovering around 6 mmol/L (108 mg/dL). On the contrary, the fasting readings before lunch or supper are normally low, around 4.5 mmol/L (81 mg/dL).
