A sample of the food portions.....
Breakfast:
1 C. Rice
60 gr. Meat
85 gr. Papaya
Lunch:
1C. Rice
90 gr. Meat
1/2 C. Vegetables
Dinner:
1/2 C. Rice
60 gr. Meat
Half cup vegetables.
I have a problem with the food portions. I do eat out often so I really cannot gauge my correct blood sugar reading.
But today.... I really don't know what would cause it to spike.
When I woke up my FBS was 172. It's high but that's lower than my usual 200-300 range.
Breakfast:
1 C. Sweet potato with 1 T. Butter
140 gr. Watermelon
Lunch:
1 C. Rice
90 gr. Meat
1/2 C. Vegetables
Merienda:
12 oz glass of taho
4 pcs. Siomai
1 pc. Lobster roll
Then when I checked my sugar before dinner it was 343!!!
That really frustrates me! When I've been following what was prescribed and yet my sugar goes up! I don't mind if I dine out and it's high.
But not when I've been following correct food portions.
Dinner:
Dinner:
1/2 C. Rice
1/2 fish
1/2 C. Mixed vegetables
I am just giving this diet until April 15. And then I will do what I think is right for me.
PS.
Sorry for the rant.
On a lighter note....
Happiness comes in a pack.... Or two!
Hi Lia! I've been reading your blog for maybe about 2 years now. I love getting ideas on what to cook from you. I also try products and food items that you recommend.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a dietician, but my dad has diabetes so I know a little bit about it. I think that what causes the spike in your sugar level would mostly be the condiments you use. Ketchup, soy sauce, etc have plenty of sugar. Watermelon has a very high sugar content too. Best to avoid these.
Hope this helps.
Hi Agnes! Thank you for following my blog!
DeleteYes! I know watermelon has high sugar content and yet the dietician allotrd 145 grams! I'm not so keen on the diabetic diet given to me. I feel that it is making my sugar rise higher.
Thanks for the tip! Hopefully, I will be able to mmake sense of this sugar and diet relationship.
