Dear Martin,
180 and 200, oh my. Not as bad as my darling beloved, who started at +400!!
Meal frequencies must be 3 meals, or 5 mini-meals, because you don’t want to bottom out, either.
The meter keeps a record, and has an infrared sensor in it.
I was on metformin for a while, and then a couple of years ago, with all the blood results on record, my V.A. primary guy took me off. I measure in the morning, while staring at my coffee and breakfast.
Remember, ‘inner strength’ is having a dark hershey chocolate bar, breaking it into smaller pieces, and eating only ONE small piece.
I love chocolate so I started using the below link. Mix in some Silk Almond or Silk Coconut milk. I blend with some chia, flax and hemp seeds. Sometimes I add unsweetened coconut, or black grapes or Walnuts, or Pecans in for a change of taste. I have to add some sweetener like Stevia and sometimes coconut sugar as raw cacao is bitter as heck.
Talk about good. Once you get the right amount to blend you have a great dessert.
