I am 5′2", 110 lbs, 34 years old, and I eat healthy. I try to watch my carbs, and I really try hard to stay away from junk food. I woke up with a headache the other day, and my grandmother (who is diabetic) suggested to test my blood sugar. It was 127. Prior to the 127 reading, I had eaten a blueberry smoothy (from fresh blueberries, Greek yogurt, some vanilla soy milk and no sugar), but I did eat 3 taco shells (just the shells, not anything in it). I also had some organic coffee made from the Pinol grain (from Nicaragua).
After the 127 reading, I went home, had some mashed potatoes, okra, green beans, and a piece of fish. A few hours later, I had 10 saltine crackers and a glass of grapefruit juice. I took another reading about 1/2 after eating those food items, and it was a 140.
Mind you, my headache wasn’t bad, it was just a dull headache, I didn’t even take any pills for it or anything.
Before any of you comment, please be sure that I am making an appointment to see the doctor because I know he will give me the best advice, but I would like some intelligent input first. If you have something intelligent or helpful for me, please comment. I really appreciate it.
