I eat chicken breast (oven baked) three or four days a week or eat vegetarian. One day a week I may have lean beef. All legal green vegetables work magic. I do not eat legumes. I do not eat fruits, except a few blueberries; others shoot blood up off the chart. I eat one piece of diet dry wheat toast for breakfast. Avoid all other breads. Cannot eat cereals, oatmeal and the like. No pasta of any kind. I cannot eat fish. I've tried other things, but always see the numbers rise. I eat nothing fried. I drink water. I do not have dairy unless it is fat free cheese. My diet is very limited, so I try to add something that should be diet and then again it doesn't work.
Three hours after lunch (all veggies) my blood was 90. In the morning, it will be higher, as is the norm for me. No desserts, no delicious anything. I have also exercised twenty minutes today. That's painful for me. I am 73 years old and have arthritis.
Today my A.M reading was 145 and 90 after lunch. That is good, but in the morning, it will probably be back in the high range again. Last night after supper it was 102. That makes no sense to me. I have been reading and researching all year, but I still cannot find this type of behavior. I had no idea I had diabetes when informed a year ago, and as always healthy, it really has hit me like a ton of bricks. I am not taking any medicine. I am determined to control this monster with diet and exercise.
Thanks for your response.
