REPORT ON DAY 1 OF BARLEY PILLS AND FASTING GLUCOSE


My fasting glucose this morning is 119.  I did that on 1200 calories and 20 units Lantus.  I did not expect anything this fast, but some of that could be insulin.  It is going to be hard to separate what the barley pills are doing from what the insulin is doing.  But I will keep both of them up for the duration and see what happens.  If the barley pills and two servings of barley during the day are helping, it will show up as reduced need for insulin over the next two months, as well as in my fasting glucose.

So, here is the menu for today:

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

LUNCH:  Mission Carb Balance Tortilla, 2 pieces bacon, tomato, romaine, dried apricot

DINNER:  2 egg omelet, with 2 oz shrimp, onions, green pepper, 1 oz cheese, ½ Panera asiago cheese bagel

SNACK:
1/8th loaf barley bread, coffee
