As a welcoming gesture, the administration supplied lunch for us yesterday - huge hero sandwiches, potato salad, macaroni salad and soda. Oh, and pickles.

I would have sat there and picked out the spinach, lettuce and tomato from 1/2 dozen slices of veggie hero if there'd been water.

As it was, I went out to lunch (had lots of water) and had a big salad, again. (Breakfast had been a turkey salad from Subway.)

I stopped at a supermarket on the way home - needed something "junky". I had soy chips and the pecan crackers.

Dinner was a spinach salad with the leftovers from lunch's salad.

This morning my bg was still 177.

I've gotta do some walking while the weather is good.

Leslie, I don't know how I've never seen one of your Diabetes Journal's before! Thanks for sharing!!

I don't have a lot of problems yet and I'm trying so hard to avoid having major problems. Lately my BG has been about averaging between 150-180 two to three hours after a meal. Pretty good :)

I think the addition of walking will bring your bg down even more. Good job at lunch.

Leslie, my husband was diabetic. I hear your frustration, at least it sounded like frustration. He'd bring his own food everywhere, the world didn't know what he needed, but we did. It was the oddest thing I ever saw when he'd eat a candy bar in the middle of the night to bring his glucose level up. It was easy to cook for him when I adopted the Adkins diet. *grin* But it was sometimes hard to eat out. He could usually count on a diet of salads when eating out, especially if we ate Italian. He loved extra cheese. *grin again* He usually would take Atkins Protein Bars with him everywhere. Costco sells them by the case. Maybe you could order some of those. And, he would take his tiny Igloo ice chest with cheese and peanut butter. Just musing...

Oops, it wasn't Costco, it was one of the grocery stores that sold them by the case. Sorry.
