Good Day,

Last night supper was a very easy make – Hawaiian Ham and Cheese Sliders and a Watercress, Onion and Tomato Salad.

I had 6 Hawaiian Ham and Cheese Sliders. Carb count ≈ 102 grams.


I had Watercress, Onion and Tomato Salad. Carb count ≈ 0 grams.


Total carbohydrate count last night approximates 102 grams.


Oh yeah, I didn’t make the King’s Hawaiian Rolls.

Results –

FSB – 106 ↓ down 112 (Normal range 100 – 125 mg/dL)
A1c – 5.36 ↓ down 5.37 (Normal range 5.7 – 6.4 %)

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

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.

JGE 66 – FBS Down by 20 Points – Jai Ho Royale and Watercress Salad

Good Day,

It’s a knockdown this morning. My early morning blood sugar count dropped 20 points to 95 mg/dL.

Decided to have lunch at Jai Ho Royale on Fowler Avenue, and after four plates I figured that I would have a light supper of leftover Watercress and Cucumber and Radish Salad at home.

Whenever I have a craving for south Indian food and after I have pedaled it is much easier than spending the time in the kitchen fixing up all the different types of dishes that I know that I can get at Jai Ho Royale.

Sometimes a buffet can cause me to go into a food tail-spin, but not this time. I know that I could have had at least two more plates full. I was satiated and satisfied.

From I what can recollect, there was a Fresh Salad, Naan, Chicken Biryani, Dhal, Chicken Tikka Masala, Vegetable Goan Curry, Fried Eggplant, Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Goat Curry, Pakoras, Butter Chicken. And yes I always try everything.

Results –

FSB – 95 ↓ down 115
A1c – 5.37 ≡ no change 5.37
eAG – 107.3 ≡ no change 107.3

Good Day,

The supper battle swings the other way this morning. My early morning blood sugar count went up 11 points to 115 mg/dL.

Bloody hell, not a knock out, but it was the Lays Baked Potato Chips; I dared to open a bag while watching a movie.

A1c – 5.37 ↑ up 5.37
eAG – 107.2 ↑ up 107.3






Tonight’s supper Sake-Steamed Chicken and Kabocha Squash. I’ve got a couple of types of steamers but this recipe calls for a twist on the steaming process that I have never tried.

Thank you LD for the Bauernbrot recipe.  Think I will try a variation on that today.
