My fasting glucose this morning is 135, about 15 points
lower than usual. The way I got here was
not as planned. After dinner and 1200 calories, I came in at 181 post prandial,
and the entire 1200 calories was metabolized on only 10 units Lantus. I was about to just let it go, and see what
the fasting was this morning, but I got really hungry, and decided to shoot the
next 10 units and have more to eat. This
is symptomatic of what is happening:
insulin needs are decreasing with the use of barley, and now the 1200
calories is not enough for me. This
means I am slowly freeing myself up from the use of insulin by eating barley at
two servings per day. When I add the
barley grass pills on Thursday of next week, I may see much more
improvement. I really look forward to
that 60 day test. And two servings of
barley daily will definitely be part of the routine.
So, here is the menu for today:
BREAKFAST: 1/3 cup
hot TSAMPA barley cereal, 1/3 cup blueberries, stevia, 2 tbs half and half
LUNCH: ½ Slim-Fast Protein
Shake, 2 oz sliced ham, Mission Carb Control Tortilla, romaine, small apple
DINNER: 3 oz lean
broiled pork chop, 1 cup butternut squash, 1 cup chicken corn chowder soup,
salad, 3 Voortman Peanut Butter cookies
SNACK: 1/8th loaf
barley bread, coffee
