Hi Sara...You sound like me.lol

My blood sugar goes low with just protein..but if I eat 1 slice of bread it will

go very high. Last night , I had the same as you before I went to bed..some

berries, with cool whip, it was very little of each . Before I ate it , my bs

was 119..this morning its 164. I haven't eaten breakfast yet..but when I do..it

will be all protein...It doesn't matter what I eat..my bs jumps very high, close

to 200 around 9:00am and 10:00 am..every morning, then it will go down the rest

of the day.

By the way, I'm going to order some of that almond flour . Do you know if

Splenda has any sugar in it, also, my fingers are getting a little sore from

testing..I have the pinlet meter..I was wondering if there's any place else that

I can test?

Sara, if we stay with it, we'll make it..good luck to you.

-- Re: bs peaks vs plateau

Patsy- I know where you are at. I have become somewhat anorexic because I

can't bear anymore bacon, eggs,steak etc. That is why I sometimes feel weak-

beacause I don't eat at all! My bs does stay low with only low carb but I

am trying to figure out how to live like this. Hence the " splurge " of some

toast this morning.

I bought those protein bars too. I ate 1 and the rest are in my food cabinet

..... pretty yucky. Lucky for me I don't have to cook for anyone else. That

must be really hard. Tonight I had some raspberries and whipped cream with

splenda. It was delicious but I didn't stay awake long enough to see what it

did to my bs.

<<HI,

I think that there should be something said about the QUALITY of ones life.

Eating this high protein diet is for the birds..I'm sick of it and I've only

been on it 3 weeks.

I'm at the point now that I would rather not eat at all if I have to spend

the rest of my life eating like this...It has taken my blood sugar down..but

it goes up and down with drastic elevations , even when I eat all protein.

I certainly don't FEEL better..I feel worse..have no energy at all now.

When I was eating what I wanted to eat I felt better..more energy, not as

depressed.

To make matters worse, my husband is not diabetic so he can eat anything he

wants and I have to continue to make the starchy foods for him...I feel like

I'm being crap when I'm making all this good food for him and I can't eat

one bite of it. and I hate those protein bars too...

There is alot to be said about the quality of life also. This diet is making

me miserable..Sorry for ranting like this ..just had to get it out...
