BARLEY IS A MIRACLE FOR BLOOD SUGAR FOR DIABETES T2

The barley cereal and barley and cheese I had yesterday really took my blood sugar down in the afternoon, in fact, it went down so much that I had to eat 80 carb grams of sweets after I took my 10 units of Lantus.  I was stunned at how low my blood sugar was going, and how fast.  This stuff is transformative for a diabetic.  As I carried my chocolate chip cookies to the bed in case I woke up with low blood sugar (yes, I did have to use them) I was amazed that just that little barley, for just those few days, completely changed my glucose response to carbs.  The highs are gone.  I was not over 148 postprandial yesterday.

I made barley bread yesterday, and this is day one of 3 servings per day of that barley bread, in addition to the Tsampas barley cereal.  So, for the next three days, the menu will include 3 servings of barley bread.  I will have to take less insulin now.  Since the barley is so transformative for blood sugar, please work with your doctor to reduce your diabetic medications as you eat your barley.
