I have no insulin problems at all. I keep simple carbs low for sure since they are not needed. I DO drink Cola when I have nausea- that happens with Dysautonomia. I LOVE Cola but I only drink a bit when I need it. I drink cola with real sugar, not corn fructose.

No rice, and VERY few of my favorite....... french fries. About 8 fries once a week.

My carbs come in good sources like oatmeal in my daily smoothie and I love to eat it with cinnamon also. My sugar is coconut palm sugar. Carbs in fruits and veggies, I get a lot of that. I have an amazing smoothie every day.

Hubby makes corn tortillas, tostadas once a week. When we fry shrimp or okra, it is with corn meal. Carbs there. I do get plenty. The brain has to have them. I just don't eat the simple and junky ones.

Oh, I don't eat bread. That isn't needed. No dessert.

I DO make a dark choc. candy with coconut manna and coconut sugar (2 tsp) and it is SOOOO GOOD and healthful!!! My hubby and I love food, love to eat out and cook wonderful things.

Sure helped to cut back on the sugar and carbs. Good for the nerves, brain. At the same time, eating lots of nutrient dense foods and supplements.

Oh, last night, hubby made crab legs and salad with apples and blue cheese. YUM. He is a great cook. I help him sometimes, but since I feel better, I usually clean up after him which is wonderful. For three years, I couldn't do that. He works all day so I am happy I can do more now.
We had lettuce wraps tonight with chicken, mushrooms, water chesnut and sauce. LOVE that.

I am so glad you are controlling your levels. Great job!
