Turnips are low carb? No ptotatoes in mine, only beef and
vegtables for the side, some sour cream. I notice foods that
have red paprika in it, like stews, gives me bloating most
of the time. Not all ways. Some times I get periods 2-3
days, seems I can eat any thing and feel good, energetic.
This afternoon me and my wife went to the lake, spend some
6-7 hours there , some bicycling, tried some fishing, no
catch, so generaly just playing around. Came home, behold my
BG was 114. Now I had dinner, broiled chicken, vegetables,
cheez, stuffed olives. I buy frosen vegetables, mostly mixed
types, peas, corn, green beans etc..., they high on fiber.
Microwave it, melt some cheez over it, some apple souce,
piece of chicken or fish next to it, makes a great quick
meal. See tomorrow morning how my BG re-act. Looks like, I
need very low carb meals, lots of long, extended exercises
on the fresh air. Medication allone don't do much. Untill
than, thanks for the good advice.
