Well, my blood sugar may be mostly stabilized, but my doctor and my nurse with the insurance company wellness program always remind me that I have a disease that is temporarily under control. I see this when I check my blood sugar in the mornings. It was 138 this morning and I ate no food after 3 p.m. Yesterday. Then, it will be like 89 during the day. He told me that I could do everything right and still have the numbers show up high eventually. He said it isn't my fault when they are high when I am doing no sugar and low carb. It is just the way diabetes works. It is rather depressing to think that my previous lifestyle of sugar and high carb foods basically caused this lifelong battle with a disease. I don't like the thought that I am not in control of what happens in my body.
Hi owensmath!
I understand completely!
If we ever go back to eating the way we did before FTS, our blood sugar would go out of control again.
We will always be sensitive to large amounts of carbohydrates.
However, we will be able to eat more of them after we reach goal and no longer need to lose any weight.
How much more depends on our individual metabolisms.
As long as we live the FTS lifestyle, we will not need to battle the disease.
But for those of us who do not... sadly, the battle will continue.
Blood sugar content will bounce around a lot even for those who do not have insulin sensitivity problems.
So don't be alarmed or concerned!
