"I can't have that anymore..."
"How many carbs is in this?"
"How high is my blood sugar?"
"Did I eat too much?"
"I didn't eat enough..."
"I'm going to miss eating this..."
"Should I eat this?"
"Can I have that?"
Becoming diabetic has changed how I look at food; what to eat, how much to eat, when to eat, what to substitute, and what to get rid of. Candy has become like a poison to me. Chips, bread, sugar, it's all just something I have to limit my intake on, or not eat at all.
On a positive note, there are a lot of sugar free and gluten free foods. Perfect for diabetics!
My diet, so far, consists of having 4 servings of carbs (about 15g Total Carbs) with each meal. I found most things I used to eat, like for example sandwiches, would take about 2-3 of those servings! So I've been reading labels more and figuring things out as I go along.
It will get easier with time, but for now I'm taking things one day at a time...
Stay sweet, but not too sweet!
