South Beach - 105

Woah. 105. That was my BG reading this morning. You might need to be a diabetic (or the loved one of a diabetic) to understand what that means. Since my diagnosis my fasting (first thing in the am) BG has never been lower than 120 without some kind of medication. I've been off my medication for several days (ran out, can't afford it till payday), and my BG is golden.

I'm still relatively miserable with the dietary restrictions -- I think that the physical cravings may be easing, but the psychological cravings are still strong. I'd just about kill for some popcorn or pizza... but dang. It works. My BG was creeping into the "out of control" range with readings of 160 to 180 a couple of times a week (including one memorable fasting of 148), and now it's into the non-diabetic range.

I don't know if I can sustain this restricted of a diet forever, but it sure is doing the trick for the blood sugar.
