I forgot to mention that the last bunch of food eaten, not including my lunch

which was the creamed cheese/two sliced brown bread lunch Ken B

where did I get all these carbs/highbloodcount

from?

I had a bowl of cereal this morning, I had two slices of good variety brown

bread, the heavy type, with a generous amount of cream cheese on each half

slice, I had three chicken/with batter/light,andand some frozen vegies, *fried a

little in Basel margerine, but here's the catch, I had a glass of a kinda of

kool aide drink, I thing I did it for ssure on the drink; I got an amazing blood

count too high! I'm a little mythed on the hight count, but thinking about it

again, maybe the kraft creamed cheese was was too much despite the reading from

the label, *1 carg per 1 table spoon of philadelphia creamed cheese! I've

noticed that one cannot always get a predictable reading as our system holds

sugers from not only today, but days of the past. Any comments would be

welcomed. Ken B in Toronto.

Ken,

Cereal and brown bread are all loaded with carbs. Also, if you had regular

(not low fat) cream cheese, the fat delays the digestion of the carbs from

the bread and will give you a high BG longer than usual after eating.

Hi Ken,

Some of the brown bread is very high in carbs like white bread and same with

the cereal. What kind and how much cereal did you eat? Did you exercise

very much today? Don't forget the chicken if breaded is another bunch of

carbs. I doubt it is the cream cheese is the culprit and the only way the

Kool-Aid did it is if it was not sugar free.

I use the light cream cheese. I only eat one slice of toast but then I'm

really not a bread eater unless it is hot bread such as a biscuit, cornbread

or a bagel or muffin. Just a thought!

[Guest guest]

Lots of good responses, but here's one more comment. Actually, I think Ruth or

Pat alluded to this. Fat will tend to play havoc with blood sugars because of

the time factor. Remember, everything ultimately gets converted into blood

glucose, it's just a matter of when. And, foods high in fat, and most notably

saturated fat (look at the nutritional data on the product), will end up being

the hardest to deal with.

Hi Joyce,

As good as bagels are I would not suggest them to anybody. They have 72

grams of carb in them which blows a day's worth of carbs or half of what the

ADA prescribes. Just something to keep in mind.

As we like to mention here, we are all different. for instance, I will enjoy

half a bagel now and then. In fact, I had half a bagel a couple of hours ago,

with a light coating of peanut butter! And, not all of us can tolerate peanut

butter, but it comes down to, trial and error for some foods. Also, I must add,

as a type 1, I am able to adjust my Humalog insulin slightly to accommodate

something like a bagel. Ruth is right though, an entire bagel would really be

pushing the carb count, and especially for a diabetic who may be overweight

and/or inactive.

Hi Ruth; Well, I usually have about 75 carbs of cereal, *as I've figured it out

to that count, for my breakfast each day* because of my weight being about 232

pounds and height, 6 1, the nurse said I should not go any higher than 75 carbs

per meal. My giggest fight is supper!...I really try to limit myself, but

sometimes, when carbs are taken at less 775 carbs I allow myself a cookie or

two. I know that I also have to wat ch the whites, such as w bread, w rice, w

anything, so sometimes I forget to watch whites, and I get into trouble. I'm

glad though, that I have not gained any new weight. Of corse, up here in

Canada, we watch our counts differently in certain units than you our cousines

do. We're waiting for the Prodogy ukp here and that will allow my wife to be

free taking my blood count as it gets somewhat minotonus but she is good, and

never misses. Nice to talk to all of you reading my msg and any comments is

really welcomed. Ken B

from?

I had a bowl of cereal this morning, I had two slices of good variety brown

bread, the heavy type, with a generous amount of cream cheese on each half

slice, I had three chicken/with batter/light,andand some frozen vegies,

*fried a little in Basel margerine, but here's the catch, I had a glass of a

kinda of kool aide drink, I thing I did it for ssure on the drink; I got an

amazing blood count too high! I'm a little mythed on the hight count, but

thinking about it again, maybe the kraft creamed cheese was was too much

despite the reading from the label, *1 carg per 1 table spoon of

philadelphia creamed cheese! I've noticed that one cannot always get a

predictable reading as our system holds sugers from not only today, but days

of the past. Any comments would be welcomed. Ken B in Toronto.

Hi Ken,

It's just that some brown breads are worse than others. Take a look at the

bag. One kind of bread we can get up here in Canada is Dempster's Healthy

Way body conscious bread. Try that one it is low on carbs. They say we

crave carbs so maybe try filling up on the veggies more. It might help curb

the munchies as they say. Don't worry, we are all human and a cookie now

and again is not the worst thing in the world just not all the time. As for

the Prodigy, I hope to have more answers next week.

carbs/highbloodcount from?

Hi Ruth; Well, I usually have about 75 carbs of cereal, *as I've figured it

out to that count, for my breakfast each day* because of my weight being

about 232 pounds and height, 6 1, the nurse said I should not go any higher

than 75 carbs per meal. My giggest fight is supper!...I really try to limit

myself, but sometimes, when carbs are taken at less 775 carbs I allow myself

a cookie or two. I know that I also have to wat ch the whites, such as w

bread, w rice, w anything, so sometimes I forget to watch whites, and I get

into trouble. I'm glad though, that I have not gained any new weight. Of

corse, up here in Canada, we watch our counts differently in certain units

than you our cousines do. We're waiting for the Prodogy ukp here and that

will allow my wife to be free taking my blood count as it gets somewhat

minotonus but she is good, and never misses. Nice to talk to all of you

reading my msg and any comments is really welcomed. Ken B
