DETOX/diet-Angelfish

[Hoaxbuster]

Strange - went thru DETOX (cranberry water cocktail - 2 qts) but hunger ook over & had a salad with
more vinegar than oil-low calorie...SUGAR went UP.

Today is first diet day. Will have Quaker oats breakfast bar, coffee
w/splenda. Should be about 150 calories.

It's not really strange...when a Type 2 diabetic doesn't take in enough carbs, the liver goes into
starvation mode and dumps glucose into the bloodstream. Sometimes it's a really fine line between
not enough carbs and too many carbs. Perhaps that's what happend when your BGs rose. Also, how many
grams of carb are in the cranberry water cocktail?

The breakfast bar may send your BGs way up, as these are usually loaded with fast-acting carbs. Low-
calorie is not always low-carb, which can be bad news for diabetics.
