Do You Know Your Blood Sugar Reading? 

My son surprised me. He brought over a blood sugar testing kit early one morning last week. He thought it was time to test my blood sugar using his new kit. Unfortunately, I had already had a cup of coffee with Stevia and cream when he arrived to test but we went through the steps of pricking my finger and inserting the test strip. My reading was 116. Even though 116 is a rather high reading, I do want to repeat the test when I have advanced notice so that I have a more accurate read. Eating more plant based foods – spinach, broccoli, greens are low carb nutritional foods that will not contribute to blood sugar surges.

Becoming aware of my blood sugar reading reminded me that Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes runs in our family. Curb your sugar intake, watch white carbs and eat more plant based foods!
