Jim, I was prepared to have another dish of pasta but before I did I tested my blood and it was 276. Had I not done this and had the pasta it probably would have shot over 400. Now I am planning a low carb regimen for the rest of the day and night. 🦌

My Dr just said fasting but I test more often, not as much as I used to but always if I’m eating a higher carb food. If I eat oatmeal, or my rare 1/2 c cheesy potatoes, or sweet potato. I feel the more testing we do the better control we can have. Knowledge is power!
