I just went through the business of posting a lengthy tome on my blood sugar adventures over Christmas...then I lost it. So now you get the readers digest version. I have found my best days are the days I stay between 5.0 -6.3, eat 15 minutes or so after taking meds and can return to the 5.0-6.3 range within two hours of eating. Its tough, but yields good results from my meds. No off time, no dyskinesia, no fatigue. I tested a lot over Christmas and kept notes of everything. The worst offender was bread!!! For 10 years I have depended on my whole wheat homemade bread believing it to be the food of the God's, only to discover it is only slightly better than common white bread and can do unexpected damage to my med schedule. Bread stuffing with gravey is way more deadly than chocolate brownies with ice cream! I'm still reeling from the shock and feelings of betrayal. The Universe is not only unfair and misleading, it is downright evil! Russet potatoes (mashed) with gravey came a close second in the "foods from hell" catagory. Disclaimer: This was just my experience and may not apply to you at all. However should you be inclined to run your own little test, drop bread and white potatoes from your menu for a few days...and gravey too.

I shall return once I have recovered from this unexpected betrayal at the hands of the universe. In the meantime I am going to the garden to eat worms!
