Making my Favorite Meals Diabetic Friendly

Well yesterday I got the news that my glucose test did indeed come back high.  Luckily I had already planned a meal that would be tasty and keep my sugar levels in check. (BBQ Chicken Sandwiches) If you looked at my diet yesterday, I don't think you would even realize that I was watching my sugar or diet. It was pretty normal, but still kept my levels in check. I do feel like I spend a lot of time thinking about food and what I can and can't have.  I'm hoping it becomes 2nd nature soon.

Breakfast is always Cheerios when I am crunched for time or uninspired.  The trick here is making sure that I only use a serving size.  It is important to measure.

Lunch was left-over hamburger soup. Filling and yummy.

I had 1/2 apple for a snack.  I tried to have a whole one, but one of the kiddos took the rest from me. It happens.

I made a BBQ chicken sandwich with coleslaw. I did add some commercial BBQ sauce. I also used a whole grain bun and I only had 1. Absolutely no seconds, but the first was so big and filling I didn't even consider seconds.

I was out with some people who were making and eating a lot of yummy looking treats; Extra gum to the rescue.  I didn't even have a taste of the treats.  Yea me!

When I got home, I had a snack of cottage cheese and mandarin oranges. Honestly, it tasted like dessert. I also had a glass of 1% milk about an hour after this.
