I have been eating a strict diabetic diet since mid December, 2022. Wonderful Wendy made sure I was eating properly. But still my glucose levels stayed high. So I was forced to taking medications to reduce my glucose levels. And it worked. I ate no carbs. I ate no sugar. I ate a healthy diet. And all was well.
But since late in July , I am not taking any chemotherapy. My glucose levels have dropped. First I stopped any meds to bring down my glucose level. Next I stopped taking Metformin, the diabetic medication. And still my levels remain between 115 and 130, which is normal.
Beginning two weeks ago, I started eating a small amount of carbs. I eat toast. And potatoes. And even banana nut bread, made by friend Mary Mac. Today to celebrate, Anna and I went to the ice cream store where we ate an ice cream dish. So far, my glucose level has stayed at a normal level. Tomorrow morning I will be interested to find my level. Soon when I return to Mississippi I will doubtless return to chemo, which will increase my level. But at the moment, I am enjoying eating regular food. Nifty.
