I do understand the way sugar and carbs work on my diet and certainly how it would affect some of my meds! I even worked at one time for an endocrinologist who specialized in diabetes and hypoglycemia—although I did not have diabetes at this time in my life, I learned a lot there, especially about taking supplements in addition to diet—he was big on that!
I know that I’m doing better with my diet than I was. I’m still a picky eater and not much of a veggie eater, other than salads and a few cooked veggies. I do like most fruits, of course, but because of their sugar content I do have to go easy on those. My favorite source of protein is chicken, eggs and protein shakes— easiest to eat with my just ok set of teeth, lol! I know I’m a mess- I do appreciate your concern and suggestions and I know it could be a life changer for me—all I can say is I’m trying and I will try harder. I have an active, beautiful 10 year old grandson to be healthier for!!
