Google spreadsheet & more

I’ve uploaded my spreadheet on Google… and made it public, in case you are interested.

For unknown reasons, yesterday after dinner I got a 144 – I didn’t eat anything particularly bad… the onlything i can think of is a was really really full, and I seem to notice that if i eat a lot, even if lots of veggies and some carbs, I will still get high post-dinner values…

However, this morning everything was very good, I got an 88.

A great website

I’ve just found a great resource for any diabetic person:

They have many resources plus a message board too… it’s a great & helpful community!

Good day

Yesterday it’s been another fairly good day

here are my values (in parthesis you see the “UK/Irish” values)

Before Breakfast  93 (5.2)
got some porridge for breakfast

After Breakfast 115 (6.4)

Before Lunch 111 (6.2)
got some whole rice, lentils,carrots

After Lunch 115 (6.4)

Before Dinner 91 (5.1)
got salad (tomatoes, chickpeas, carrots, lettuce, with lemon juice), some whole bread, half an orange

After Dinner 106 (5.9)

After Lunch I did some yoga, and after dinner I got as usual a 30 minutes walk uphill.

The first 10 days

Here’s my first real post: I am uploading a couple of pictures with my glicemic values in the last ten days, since when I started the new “diet.

The first image has the values in mg/dL (as used in US I believe, and in some european countries), the second one shows the same values in mmol/L (as used in UK, Ireland, Netherlands, and I don’t know where else).

Of course the misurations have been taken Before Breakfast, After Breakfast, Before lunch, After Lunch, Before Dinner, After Dinner.

mg/L

mmol/L

I think a trend can already be identified; the values are getting better and better I believe.

Here’s what I ate during these days:

I tried to get one spoon of linseed oil with each breakfast, lunch or dinner. Also, very very important, i went out for a walk after each dinner, and exercised 3-4 times a week. I can get better at that, i know… I will try!

The first post

Welcome to my new blog.

Go to the “about” page to know about it and about me.

I am a diabetic (type 2) person who’s trying to change his life by sticking to a better diet. The core of the diet is: use whole foods, use good oils (linseed/flaxseed), be moderate, exercise.

I will be posting my glicemic values here, along with what I eat and what I do to get such values.
