Coffee all day long
I drink coffee with 1/2 1/2 all day long at work and at home--over a liter in all--maybe about 100ml cream--and just consider it as part of the background noise re my BG. So, coffee is the norm and I have no intention on modifying my coffee intake. However, I am working toward the modification of my diet and amount of consumption. My wife brought home a poster which she posted on the refrigerator the following: THE NEW FOUR FOOD GROUPS: FRUITS, LEGUMES, WHOLE GRAINS, VEGETABLES. Although I feel that this was created by Vegans, I do feel that the closer I adhere to this diet the closer my BG stays in the "green zone" and the fewer spikes I hit. One word of advice on this poster is this: EAT BETTER: TASTE BUDS CHANGE. So true. In the meantime, I muddle through it, occasionally breaking the regimen-which my dietitian tells me as it is okay so long as it is the exception and not the rule. However, no one will be able to take me away from my coffee!
