24 February 2007

Breakfast: South Beach breakfast wrap and a D.P. and some left over hamburger/ potato /onion.

Lunch: Hamburgers (2), some chips and a couple of cans of D.P.

Dinner: A bunch of homemade tuna noodle casserole:

1. 2 cans of tuna
2. two cans of creamme of mushroom soup
3. sliced and diced very sharp Tillamook cheddar cheese
   
4. some kind of sliced "yellow" cheese
5. crumbled potatoe chips
6. uncrumpled potatoe chips
7. a big glass of bottled water

Snack: A gin-and-tonic... If I can't drink D.P. (Diet Pepsi) because I'm going to bed in 35 minutes, I can at least drink something that might be good for me! I can drink diet tonic water and lime juice, both low cal. I can drink a small amount (one shot) of gin. This is alcohol, which actually helps my body reduce blood sugar and is low cal.

Who'd have thunk it???

Here's a quote from the reference:
If you have diabetes and take insulin shots or oral diabetes pills, you risk low blood sugar when you drink alcohol. To protect yourself, never drink on an empty stomach. Plan to have your drink with a meal or after eating a snack.

I'm a type 2 and low blood sugar is not a real problem for me. So, where is the problem with me having that gin-and-tonic???
