Rebounding from a red alert day Would it help if I told you I am a diabetic having a terrible week with low blood sugars. I will be seeing my doctor this Thursday and talking to my rep Tuesday. So, hopefully things with the pump numbers will get put right soon. Yesterday I make no excuses. I know the 15 carb rule.I just got scared that on the way home I would have another low since I was having so many this week. It was dark, traffic was bad, I was tired and hungry. I ran out of snacks( read yesterdays blog). To make matters worse I just kept eating. Some of it was the fear of fainting while driving. The rest was the effect of all that extra sugar in my system. It made me very hungry. So hungry that I couldn't control myself and didn't. When I told my husband what I did he patted me on my shoulder and told me a bad day doesn't make a bad diet week. ( well I hope that's true )
Today hubby wanted to go out for lunch. After yesterday I wasn't really up to it but I said ok. We went to Ruby Tuesday and I had their mini turkey burgers. One that is, with broccoli and salad. I brought my own dressing from home. I had to figure out the food values on my own though because Ck doesn't have it listed. I used the AMA Diabetic Exchange list pamphlet as a guide for how much the fat and protein grams would be. Oh I took my scale with me and actually weighed the mini burger. If anyone knows how to actually do this let me know.
Well the rest of the day went well. I made grilled Tilapia, spinach, baked potatoes, and fresh fruit for dinner. I used my blackening seasoning on the fish. We liked the fish better this way than fried.
Also looked at tile boarders for the second bathroom...mundane stuff...
Check out Dragon Wars scifi buffs, it was fun.
