Long time no see- diabetic and food journal and a great blood pressure!

Oh boy, it has been a while since I journaled on here. First, the big change. I have now started checking my blood sugars twice a day- in the morning and before bed.  My sugars have been so good as of the last few months that I feel confident in my decision. My readings have all been between 80-110, so I feel good about that.

Food wise is another small change.  I have re-introduced some whole grain carbs back in that I was not allowing previous. FiberOne cereal, Grape Nuts and some whole wheat pasta. I figured it was worth a try to see what response my body gave, and it loved it! My blood sugars are actually lower 2 hours post a whole grain then after say a yogurt and half an apple. Amazing! And I am a heck of a lot less hungry- I have also started eating a small breakfast everyday. Big difference.

I have lost 2 more pounds- nothing earth shattering but it is small progress.  My blood pressure, just for your reference, was 100/58 the last time I checked it last week and my A1c was 4.9. So I will keep on with what I am doing. Next up.. get my thyroid checked.

Exercise…. this is where I have slacked. I am sorry to report this bu as life got really busy mt activity dwindled a bit. I am still running around at lacrosse practice twice a week and walking 2 other times, but I have not used my weights. I will make this my goal o get back on it! Have a great day and how have you been doing?
