I ate 4 measly strawberries last night and this morning, and my blood sugar did not like it. Come on! This is what's so frustrating about this disease. I'm going to try eating them in the middle of the day, as I definitely seem to do best at that time. And maybe 3, instead of 4.

Tonight I'm making chicken cacciatore, with tomatoes and chicken broth. Usually I would eat this over rice, but I guess I'm eating it by itself! I can make some spinach, I suppose. Yuck.

I've been living this new life for a week and a half, but it feels like months already. This is a radical change. I keep telling myself to think about all the new clothes I'll be able to buy, and the physical stuff I'll be able to do. Going to the grocery store sucks.

And because I never want to leave a blog post on a negative: had my lowest number yet today, a 147 before lunch. Every day seems to get just a little better.

    Try making 'cauliflower rice' with your dinner. I've switched to cauliflower to replace potatoes and now I prefer it.

    If you are struggling with the diet try these two links.

    Blood Sugar 101

    and

    Linda's Low Carb Recipes and Treats

    Just having options has changed my life. I don't feel deprived at all!

    I absolutely cannot choke down cauliflower. It's like eating garbage to me. And I've tried! Just can't go it.

    I checked out the link to Linda's recipes - wonderful site, thank you!

    Try Barley as a rice substitute - It still has carbs but a lower Glycemic Index and is more friendly to your Blood Glucose. I cook it with a little Beef Bullion for flavor and find it quite pleasant to eat
