Re: for those who take insulin

[Guest guest]

Most bread type foods are in the carbohydrate family. Meats, and many vegetables

are not. Your taco meal might not be all that high in carbohydrates depending on

the type of taco shell. You need to find out the number of grams of

carbohydrates in a shell (or whatever you use). Pretty much everything else you

listed you have with your taco shell contain few if any carbohydrates. This is

another reason to do frequent bg checks after eating a given meal. You'll

eventually catalog the amount of insulin you need to take for a particular meal.

for those who take insulin

Hi.

I have to be honest here.

I have not even told my doctor this and do not plan to because well,

she don't need to know.

But anyway now i am doing my bg 4 to 5 times a day.

Before I got the prodigy voice my wife had to help me so we didn't do

it only once or twice a day.

Anyway i digress.

I never took isulin after eating tacos because one time i did and my

sugar crashed.

Do tacos and taco salads have carbs in them?

On mine i put

meat, cheese, tomatoes, sauce, and maybe a little tiny bit of lettuce.

thanks all.

I know i could lok this up online but i don't know of a good place that

has nutrishional info like carbs and stuff.

I used to go to

www.calorieking.com

\is it still around?

later

scott.

The shells have carbs and it depends on if the shell is made with flour

tortilla or corn tortilla as to how many carbs. What kills me in a taco

salad is the amount of fat with the cheese, sour cream, avocado and if the

shell is fried instead of baked. My sugar always goes up later, so I give

my insulin twice. Once is for the shell, maybe one or 2 units and then

about an hour an a half later another 3 or 4 units.

As Pat shows us, how we treat our diabetes is a highly customizable thing. She's

discovered, through trial and error, or simply call it experience, how to manage

eating a taco.

While eating foods like tacos isn't the best way to go, again, it's moderation.

It's substituting something unhealthy for something healthy for the shear

pleasure of variety. It's okay now and then. Dipping a toe in the warm waters of

unhealthy food won't drown us. Only if we choose to spend our life submerging

ourselves there will we suffer consequences we want to avoid.
