    Yesterday was great until I ended up in the ER after a puppy play mishap—he grabbed the rope toy we were playing with and got me, too. Complete accident, of course. Nice deep 1” or so laceration between my index and middle fingers. They cleaned it, updated my tetanus shot, and gave me a prescription for antibiotics. Can’t stitch bite wounds so I have to be really careful with it, and it’s a really awkward position. That was fun. Good excuse to do nothing but read and nap today, though! Have a great Sunday, all!

    @SheilaBoneham Sorry to hear about your pup accident! Ouchie!! Those puppy teeth are sharp! I can totally relate - I am covered in bruises and scrapes due to my 78 lb dog-reactive rescue dog. He's trying his best and really wants to please, but it will take some time. He has bitten me twice, but I think we have moved past that stage. (Fingers crossed.) Anyway, take care of your injury. :)

    I respect that you are going to do what your dietician is suggesting even though it does sound counterintuitive to you.

    You mentioned food aversions, that sound like this is going to be really hard.

    I’ve been thinking about some high carb healthy foods that maybe you like.

    Oatmeal
    Baked Potatoes
    Rice
    Pasta

    Lol, basically the foods most of us limit.

    @Skyleen75 Thanks for the ideas. For "normal" diabetics the potatoes, rice and pasta are very limited to no-no because it enters the bloodstream too fast. Oatmeal is a great idea though I don't know much about how it works in the bloodstream. But I agree that you are right. It is better to stick to a baked potato than pizza! (I use pizza for an example. I don't actually eat pizza very often, I have a thing in my head that the dough will be raw!). For me, any veggie is a good thing, even one on the high glycemic index. Definitely better than ice cream!

    I have worked my *kitten* off today trying to pre-log foods up to 158g of carbs without going over the 1400 calories and I just can't reach it no matter what I try (that is in my house and that I can eat.) I am close at about 136. I used a 100% whole wheat muffin to help my breakfast goal (she wanted me at 70 or more carbs per meal x 3 meals). I used Tomato Basil soup from Schwan's and some croutons to help my lunch, I am using a 100% whole wheat pita with homemade shish-kebobs (with some roasted peppers, mushrooms & onions, to help with my dinner goal. I made some chia pudding for a snack. I also had some applesauce (I can't eat apples). I also had yogurt which gave me 17 carbs. This is a lot of work!
    I appreciate any and all suggestions from everyone. Rice and Pasta are definitely something I will add in as I can put something with higher fat or fiber with it to slow it's entering the bloodstream. Great ideas!

    Hi @deepwoodslady I may have missed some conversations, but do you eat beans - garbanzo, pinto, black, kidney, etc., they could add some complex carbs. For my hypoglycemia, I eat a combination of complex carbs and additional protein from meat. You could add them to brown rice. Also, do you eat sweet potatoes - maybe a small one. I'm sure you've already thought of beans as a good source, or some people's digestive system can't handle them very well.

    @fmfdfa2020 - Hey, I was just thinking. There is nothing that messes up my carbs more than eating a banana. LOL! Are they one of the fruits that you can tolerate? If so, even half a banana might help? I know that might spike your blood glucose, but maybe if you eat it at the same time as a protein, such as a boiled egg or whatever? Just a thought. :)
