Re: cottage cheese/bedtime snack

Half a glass of milk, 5-6 crackers and peanut butter, one piece of sugar

free wheat and cheese, uh... will find out more tomorrow.

These may be snacks for someone putting-on weight, but it helps

T1 to have a bedtime snack after Lantus. I think it's important to have

carb and protein - what mix we're still working on that.

I mean she wakes up in morning low-high 40's sometime, she'll have 240+

after a meal sometime. Alot of time she is in range. Since she started

having a snack a BT and dropped her lantus dosage a little - her morning

reading have been better. I say it's her counting and combining that's

throwing her off. The Endo already says " would be an ideal

candidate for a pump. " Do you think the Endo gets a kickback?

I find that a small banana and some skim milk work well especially

after stressful occurrences.

I made some muffins with Quaker oats, apricots and whole wheat flour-

-and some walnuts. Kept them in the fridge and gave them a quick

nuke--added low fat/fat free cream cheese or I Can't Believe it's

Not Butter. Seemed to be a good snack.

I used small muffin tins--not minis but they weren't big muffins.

There's a blueberry/applesauce/whole wheat bran muffin that is

wonderful. I can check around for that. Fresh blueberries are

coming pretty soon around here. IF the birds don't beat us to them

again this year. Dried cranberries would be good, too.

anyone have good readings with cottage cheese?

Hi Sharon,

I do not eat a bedtime snack since I eat dinner late. I eat dinner between

7-8 pm. Have been doing this for 25 yrs. My big meal is lunch, then for

dinner I have a lite meal.

Sometimes I have cottage cheese with fruit for dinner. Also, have cottage

cheese with fruit or cottage cheese with a couple spoons of yogurt and cereal

mixed together for breakfast. I always have normal readings after eating

cottage cheese.

You could have some cottage cheese for a snack during the day, then test to

see how it affects your bg's.

hugs

Oh, I would love to be able to eat bananas. That is the one fruit I cannot

eat.

I believe blueberries get ripe in July/Aug in this area. I'm just waiting

for them. I have a friend that has an orchard - blueberries, peaches, apples.

I'll put lots of berries in the freezer.

Angelia in OR who only likes large curd cottage cheese...
