New Drug Regimen

[Gwaithmir]

I've been systematically getting rid of sugary products in my pantries and freezers ever since my diagnosis. This has been a bonanza for my housemaid, who has carried home a full shopping bag of these items each week. Last week she took away all the barbecue sauces and frozen, barbecued chicken in the freezer. Tomorrow I'll tell her to take home all the frozen Chinese dinners and some condiments whose main ingredients is sugar. I recently purchased sugar-free honey and chili sauce to use in some of my recipes.

Remember that blood sugar can be heightened by ANY carbs, not just sugary stuff. Too much bread or pasta can give you just as much trouble so you have to watch those too.

My doctor already told me to cut down on pasta. He also said that wheat bread or rye bread is better for diabetics than white bread. I'll be consulting with a dietician during my next checkup.
