JGE 87 – FBS Increase 5 Points – Late Night Supper

Good Day,

This morning I recorded an increase of 5 points to 111 mg/dL to my early morning blood sugar count.

Appointments all day and running late for supper.

A quick go-to and pick up at Pepo’s Café in Northdale.

Supper – Bourbon Chicken, Black Beans and White Rice, Yuca, and Plantains. Pepo’s always provides a tremendous amount of food, and I always hear the instructions to clean my plate.

And I will always return to Pepo's...

Bourbon Chicken. Carb count ≈ 26 grams.

Black Beans and White Rice. Carb count ≈ 90 grams.

Boiled Yucca in Garlic Sauce. Carb count ≈ 47 grams.

Plantains. Carb count ≈ 57 grams.

5 pieces of Dove Dark Chocolate Minatures. Carb count ≈ 23 grams.



Total carbohydrate count last night approximates 243 grams.


Results –

FSB – 111 ↑ up 106 (Normal range 100 – 125 mg/dL)
A1c – 5.36 ≡ 5.36 (Normal range 5.7 – 6.4 %)
eAG – 107.1 ↓ down 107.2 (Normal range 117 – 137 mg/dL)

Tune in tomorrow to Jim’s Gotta Eat to see the comparison of the results...and the set up a new Supper Showdown.

Food for thought – Try not to eat too late in the evening. Manage the amount of food that I eat. Do not over eat because my eyes see good food.

I am trying to control my diabetes with exercise and food. I have eliminated all diabetes medication. I am keeping my weight stable, and Jim's gotta eat.

Enjoy.

Jim
