364

[tinhuvielartanis]

That's Aunt Tudi's current blood level. She got a call from her new doc on Friday wanting to see her on Monday. It's about time she got a doctor who is going to crawl her arse about her diabetes.

She's quite keen on returning to her diabetic diet, which is fine with me. I can eat on any diet and am fine with it. Being on her diabetic diet with her may jumpstart my own weightloss again, since I've been plateaued for a while. Either way, I'm cool with it. What really matters is getting Aunt Tudi's blood sugar back under control.

I may whip her with some freshly-cut sugar cane if she gets outta line again.

364? Crikey!

Do I need to come up there with a box of oatmeal and chase Ms. Tudi round the house with it?

Fiber is fantastic medicine for diabetes. (I was told I was borderline years ago, had it tested recently, and I'm normal. Just a touch of hypoglycemia.)

Trust me, I'll be plying her with mighty oats from now on.

Great. Now I have the "Colon Blow" cereal commercial parody from SNL on my brain.

I hear reports that cinnamon helps, as well! (but you have to eat about 1 tsp/day) Oatmeal with cinnamon? Yum!

I'll be sure to cover her oats with cinnamon! Thanks!

also coffee with cinnamon, beef stew with cinnamon, etc. 1 tsp a day not difficult. (I haven't heard that one though, has anybody else?)

There are also cinnamon capsules you can get from a health food store. I know one girl that says she believes it does help with her blood glucose level.

Brilliant! I should head to Garners and get Aunt Tudi a load.
