My fasting glucose this morning was 155, and I took 10 units
insulin. This reflects the fact that I
had 400 extra calories yesterday, to see what would happen to my fasting
glucose at that level. It returned to my
normal fasting glucose of 155, but golly, I ate 1600 calories yesterday. Breakfast post-prandial then was 139 . I added Little Debbie Spinwheel to
snack, 110 calories. After dinner, added On Protein Cake Bites, 1/3 package for 72 calories. Total added calories
230. Later, a small croissant and an
extra tangerine. Total added calories
for the day, 400.
This is amazing. The
extra calories are what pushed me up to 155 fasting glucose, but it took 400
calories extra to do that. That is the
best measure I have so far of how much the barley is increasing my metabolism,
as the fasting glucose is my usual fasting glucose, only it was produced today
on 1600 calories yesterday instead of 1200.
I will not challenge with extra calories today, but I will keep up the
planning for 1200 calories and probably eat about 200 extra calories, to see if
20 units of insulin and 1400 calories will get me down into lower fasting
glucose readings.
NEWS FLASH: There’s a new product out at Walmart based on
protein cake and frosting, called On Protein Cake Bites. There are 20 gm protein per cake bite
package, and 25 carb grams. I eat one cake bite at
a time, (which is 1/3 the package) and that is what I had for dessert at dinner. Delicious, and it added protein that I
needed.

BREAKFAST: 1/3 cup
Tsampa cereal, 1/3 cup blueberries, stevia, 2 tbs half and half
