Thank you, Phillipa. I got a couple of books and have been reading them with my husband. The poor dear tries to help, but his idea of what's healthy and what's healthy for a diabetic aren't really the same. It really is not intuitive in many cases. As it turns out, potatoes are the worst of the carbs. I can live without potatoes. And pasta is better than rice!
The really sad thing to me is that I was pretty proud of myself. I had gotten much better with portion control, and had largely avoided those foods that I have trouble controlling. I hardly ever eat sugar, aside from the sugar in fruits I suppose. I'd even lost a couple of pounds, though my weight redistributed itself to my belly so that my pants keep falling off. I think I need to get maternity clothes.
It's really depressing that when I thought I was being healthier, I get an unprecedented jump in glucose readings.
Of course Christmas was in that time period. But that's only a couple of days of Yorkshire pudding and Mrs. Smith's deep dish apple pie.
mmmmm..... Mrs. Smith's deep dish apple pie....
