Don’t do without fruit, just be careful what fruit you eat. "Northern"
fruits like applies and pears have a lower glycemic index than
tropical fruits like pineapple. Melons are also troublesome, but you

out of my diet. But my son and our future daughter in law are living with
us, and they love my chicken and rice, so I made it last night. Didn’t feel

I didn’t have any yesterday, but it is something I crave especially in hot
weather. It makes me mad that my company’s hedgehog gets something I want
but can’t have…lol….

you hunt for them) is less bad that ordinary rice, since the surface
of the grain is harder and so it digests a little slower than ordinary

white rice, and especially Asian short grain "sticky" rice.

I don’t see much wrong with the food, but you should ditch the white
rice and switch to brown. I do think that you are not taking the Byetta

Seems like you are taking it just prior to eating. I think the more you
can push the injection back from the meal up to a max of an hour you’ll
have an easier time with things. Numbers aren’t bad and you just started
