Bar-B-Cued Ribs
guess everyone is different 
wine will make my blood sugar rise.
me too…I don’t drink often, but it always makes my bs rise!
you’ve gotta have some joys in life, without them what’s worth living for??
Amanda, I live for the joys…be it a sweet treat once in awhile and a good ole’ shot of my humalog to enjoy it, or just waking each morning and so grateful I have another day to to find that joy !
i agree robyn, i like how we think!! haha
Oh, I absolutely agree about the joys. I learned when I got into recovery from my eating disorder to cook and enjoy healthy foods, by making them yummy. Feeling deprived sucks and for me I can’t stick with something that makes me feel that way. So I also learned to look for my joys in non food related things.
Zoe. That is good…I am glad you have recovered. I went through a bit of that when I was in my early 20’s…just not a good thing for sure! Yes, joy in non food related things…I am happy to have those, because I love food too! Ugh! lol
i cant stay away from asparagus! LOL just kidding…
i don’t eat anything with sugar but i always get a carb hangover when i go visit my mom and she makes me Indonesian food.
well put Domo! i couldnt have said it better!
if someone doesnt like this thread they dont have to read it!
that’s good perspective zoe- good to hear
i’m kinda to the point to where eating is pretty boring- i’ll have to devote some time/energy to making them fun!
Hey guys, whole wheat pita chips with hummus really does it for me, but its such a healthier option if you’re a chip fan. I made them for supper today, 35 carbs all together, they were a healthy treat
I love food so much, I love to cook, to experiment with new flavors, to enjoy the same treats my grandma made when I was growing up, I love to eat out too, cook with friends or family, really love to go to the farmer’s market and pick up fresh food, try dips with my son… I really enjoy food.
I wish I put more time into deciding what to eat, most of the time I am good, but well I know there are somethings that I should probably replace with healthier choices, and I know healthy food can be really yummy and satisfying… of that I have no doubts… the thing is that in most cases you need time, determination and organization. I guess those are my weakness 
Suzanne, girl I am with you! My roommate is always baking. I’ll take a spoonful of dough or batter over the baked treated anyday. Too bad my blood sugar skyrockets!
My food weaknesses are usually the ones that mess up my bs. I can’t get enough Thai food but boy, I need a huge bolus for that. And I can’t ever stop at one serving.
My other weakness: a cup of coffee and a delicious scone and a crossword puzzle. Coffee and crosswords don’t do much to my bs, but a scone sure does
Sushi rice. Delicious sticky hyperglycemic sushi rice.
i LOVE cookies!
I actually adore asparagus and it’s always in season here. Only problem is I adore it on an english muffin with hollaindaise sauce and eggs…my absolute fave breakfast!
Mmm…indonesian food! I love anything spicy. Ok, I’ve had an eating disorder, acid reflux and now diabetes. If they give me a disease that can’t have spicy food I’m on strike!!
Yeah I know what you mean about cooking and enjoying good food and the time factor. When I retired (after working two jobs for a couple years to be able to retire at 58, I knew that cooking interesting dishes would be one of the thing I’d do with my free time. Then I moved here to Guatemala where I didn’t have the wide choice of special ingredients I was used to from California. I got past that obstacle, then wham, I realized how drastically I had to alter my diet for my diabetes. But I have the time so I’m just determined that I’m going to be a diabetic gourmet cook! Oh yeah, and I’m a vegetarian which makes it that much harder; I’m used to eating lots of carbs. I’m excitedly awaiting delivery of “Carb Conscious Vegetarian” that looks like it has some good recipes.
