Today I went to the doctor and had my blood drawn for testing. My glucose reading at the doc was 222, down from 317 on Wednesday when this all began. I'm not sure if its because for the past 2 days I gave up all carbs, sugars etc. or if it is just a random thing, but it felt good to be 100 points lower. Now I just have to wait to see what my a1c score is and go from there.
I stuck with the Paleo diet today, I had to fast until after the Dr. appointment so I had scrambled eggs after for brunch. I then went shopping for meat and vegetables at some markets I found that were actually walking distance to my apartment. I had an orange for a snack in the afternoon and then I had a 93% lean hamburger patty for dinner with a salad (cucumbers, red leaf lettuce, iceberg lettuce, cauliflower, and carrots). I researched salad dressings last night for about 2 hours trying to find one that was completely gluten free while still tasting good. I think I might have to eventually just make my own. I also cut up a fresh pineapple and had a few pieces of it for an after dinner snack. I put the rest in the fridge for tomorrow.
I'm not sure how the fruit portion of the paleo will or won't affect my diabetes, I will know more I guess when I get my glucose meter to check each day.
I have a Christmas party to go to tomorrow where there will be free booze and bad food. I won't let it get to me, I'm not going to eat crappy food and drink beer to get thrown off.
