Really isn't one bit fair, is it?

[Guest guest]

some folks can eat more of one food then I can. some times and not more then

one day a week I will have a table spoon only of regular strawberry preserves

with my half slice of toast and it doesn't raise my sugar 2 hours later. some

one else may eat 2 or 3 table spoons on a whole piece of toast and there sugar

didn't rise like mine would have. our bodies are all different. I can drink a

glass of milk with breakfast a my sugar will go way high. then I know a fellow

who can drink the same amount I did and it only causes his reading to go up less

then one fourth of what mine did. he could also eat a whole doughnut and be ok,

if he only had one. I on the other hand have tried this long ago and the one

doughnut caused my sugar to go to high 2 hours later. I don't like pasta at all,

so I'm so lucky there. this is why you get real friendly with your meter and

live to trust in what it tells you. write down how much of each food made your

sugar rise 2 hours after you ate it. if you don't write it down you will for get

over time. different foods do different things to each of us. some can and some

can't and fair or not, it is what it is!
