Hello everyone! We've made it to Hump Day! We're halfway to that coveted weekend! And next week is a short one with the Thanksgiving holiday! We've got this!
So it's really interesting to me the foods that will spike my blood sugars and the ones that don't. I have to check my blood sugar an hour after every meal for the Gestational Diabetes. It's all about balancing your carbs - not necessarily the sugar. And you have to eat SOME carbs. So, here's an example of how funny I think this is - yesterday for lunch I had a spinach salad with some chicken, a small yogurt and a breadstick. My number was in range, but on the high side of normal. For dinner, we had nachos with cheese and meat and well, taco chips of course. Chips you would think would really be something that would spike me - nope. My after dinner number was on the low side of normal! Potatoes and rice spike me. Pasta does not. With bread it kind of depends. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It's just all big old game, but at least I'm still winning!

I told Mr. Monkey I don't know that I want to test at all on Thanksgiving Day - not only is it going to be a carb heavy meal, we're going to be eating at odd times that day too! We'll see. The end of this wackiness is in sight at least!
