Hi everyone. I'm not so much eating low carbs as I am correctly carb balancing. Well, I'm trying to anyway! Going to the diabetes nutrition classes at the local hospital made a HUGE difference. I learned I had 2 major problems: not eating breakfast and not eating enough. Could've knocked me over with a feather re: not eating enough! (Of the right things, of course.)

I am just planning to get on my bike and know I will need to monitor my BS closely. I've already lowered my HgA1C from 7.4 to 5.8 by adding cinnamon to my diet.

I generally eat 14 carb units per day (1 unit = 15g of carbs). It's spread so that it's 3 units per meal (3x day) and 1-2 units per snack (3x day). I am following the color code system used in the glycemic index diet, which I prefer to look at as the GI eating plan, lol.
