Day 1This is day 1 of my journey towards getting off my dependance on Insulin.I've had to use it since 1970 to regulate my blood sugars because I'm a Type 1 Diabetic.
Back in 1970, I was told by my doctors that the Islets of Langerhein in my pancreas were completely dead and I'd be on insulin for the rest of my life.В Concidering Insulin has almost killed me quite a few times, I guess what the docs told me was true.В Well, I've come to a realization that I want to live healthy and free of my dependance on this drug.I'll have to look up side effects of insulin and post them.I know it's hard on your heart and it can have a side effect of death, but I'm sure there's more.
Today I woke up at 6:30am and had a blood sugar reading of 158, so I gave myself 1 unit of Humalog insulin.
My breakfast was a shake with 2 scoops of Usana Health Sciences Strawberry Nutrimeal,
water, 1/2 of a peeled lemmon, 1 tsp.of Stevia in the Raw powder,
4 collard green leaves from my organic garden and some parsley,
1/2 of a cucumber, chopped, and 1/4 avacado
(the lemmon and greens are Alkaline, which is a big help for Diabetics too.)
Blend it all together in a power blender, I like the ones that come with 4 cups to attach to the blender.
I also open it to taste and add extra water if needed.
The nutrimeal shake mix has complete protein and fiber and I end up full and satisfied, cause it tastes so good!
A shake like this is excellent for Diabetics, it's Low Glycemic and an easy way to get your greens!
I took 2.5 units of humalog and another .5 for 1 hr.extended time.
House work has been my exercise today, becauseВ I can never get it all done.
More on my progress later.....
