Supplies

So, clearly, I'm going to run out test strips and lancets before my next appointment in September, as I only have 100 of each (technically a few more lancets, because some came with my glucometer), but I've been testing 3x per day instead of my doctor-spoken 3x per week or even the instructions on the prescription of 1x per day. Four for the ( Nacho Experiment )

I guess this means it's really important to not fall into my typical "I'll eat this one thing with minor variations until I run out of it" habit so that I can compile plenty of data to figure out what the best things for me are once I'm out of supplies.

Week 2: Tuesday

Fasting: 110

2 hours after 'meal': 155
Meal: Nestle chocolate drumstick.

Lunch: Tuna salad. Didn't test.
Exercise: 15 min. biking
Snack: baby carrots.

I don't usually log the meals I don't test before or after here, because I keep a full daily log at myfitnesspal, but since this is the first full day off I've been doing this, I thought I should commment.

2 hours after meal: 103
Meal: ~8oz chicken breast (grilled), 2.5 tbsp brown rice/quinoa, three or four broccoli florets with 1/2 tbsp ranch dressing.

Community

Ugh. Just tried looking for some actual comms to join, either specifically diabetic-focused or general healthy-food focused. The most appropriate looking diabetic group I found hasn't been updated since 2009, and only had two posts. Of its four members, only one has updated recently (the others: 2 years or more).

And the food comms...maybe I need to try different search terms, but it was mostly a nonstarter. I might have had better luck on LJ, but this is where the only other comm I participate in lives, and I don't want to make another account somewhere else. I don't really want to move over to wordpress either, just because I already have a wordpress, don't want it linked in any way with this, and don't want to do a lot of logging in and out.
