Inn case you don't have my 1st 3 readings here they are: 8/1/05 2 hr breakfast

pp 107. I ate 2 brown rice flour pancakes made w/ rice dream and a bit of saf

oil and a small pork pattie plus water.

8/1 2 hr pp lunch. I ate cheerios w/ rice dream, a few slices of avocado, a

small piece of bread and 1 medium shrimp and water . Reading 104

8/2 2hr breakfast pp same food as day before. Reading 107

Now for the 2 new readings you asked for:

8/2 1 hr pp after dinner. I ate llettuce salad w/ avocado and about 4 large

cornchips, zuchinni fried in small amout of safflower oil with a bit of egg on

the zucks(just a coating of egg before cooking the zucks) , a medium sized piece

of lamb, medium portion of white rice, and a tiny portion of white lasagne made

w/ goat's cheese. Reading 123

Today 8/3 my fasting bg before eating anything was 80. It was a long 10 hour

Hi Janet

I've snipped for emphasis, cutting the non-starchy foods.

I went back and read your intro message at 74696. You are basing a lot

of your concern on one high two-hour number; I am starting to wonder

if that reading was erroneous. You also mention " I'm thin (just gained

8 pounds which i WANT to keep on because my weight was getting

dangerousely low, which for me means eating pleanty of carbs, i don't

crave sugar and i don't need to go to the bathroom all that often. "

All I can say is that, if you are pre-diabetic, you are at a very

early stage. I couldn't possibly eat those foods and get those

results. However, I hope you noticed the difference between the

one-hour and two-hour readings.

I would suggest that if you use this experience to be aware of the

need for a healthy diet and moderate exercise it's possible you may

never qualify to officially join us. You are already seeing an endo (I

presume for something else) and I'm sure the endo will monitor things

too.

I don't think that the full " test,test,test " routine is applicable to

you. However, you will get some benefits if you make use of your meter

to occasionally monitor your menu and diet with one-hour tests. If the

numbers start creeping up it will be time to see the doc again and

come back for advice.
