You can help lower your blood sugars by reducing the amount of simple carbohydrates and eating more soy proteins if you are not eating any meat....have you tried boca burgers? they are very good! and nutritious.
Natures own has a mini bun product that is low calorie(100) and is very good, many whole grains and fiber. Light Flat out is a tortilla/wrap that is only 90 calories, these are my only bread products that I use.
I switched to fat free organic milk and it tastes delicious one cup has 90 calories.
what is a normal dinner for you?
I switched from mayo to mustard on my sandwiches.
I found a fat free italian salad dressing that I like even cook with it sometimes.
I use bromel spread has fewer calories 1 tablespoon has 45 calories compared to 1 teaspoon of olive oil...having the same calories.
So I can saute anything in that,
I also use chicken broth to simmer food items.
progresso has a good lental soup!
I think that I am stressing you so I am sorry for that....
I want to encourage you...I think you are making great strides, you really are.
keep up the good work.
((((HUGS))))

rats i just typed a huge post then lost it...thank you so much for your thoughtful and time consuming post. I don't have simple carbs and that hasn't helped my diabetes. I love progresso soup and was drinking a lot of it because it was tasty and low in calories but it is high in sodium so my bp spiked when measured at the doctors and she told me to stop drinking it.
ornish's diet is only ten percent fat and no chicken beef or fish...i don't like soy or tofu but will try the boca burgers. I just bought a lot of black beans in different varieties and brown basmati rice for protein. i eat a lot of brocolli with butter buds and romaine lettuce with italian dressing. i can eat fruit too. he doesn't limit the quantities.
tonite two friends are taking me out for my birthday at a favorite tex mex place. I think i will try to be good and not drink and have their soup and a side of blacks and rice.
Bobby
