First of all, very good news this morning. My fasting blood sugar was 117. Since the official clinical definition of diabetes is a fasting blood sugar above 125, this means that in just one week my low-carb diet has cured my diabetes. Or, at least, controlled it. Obviously, if I celebrated with a Coke and a Chocolate bar I would go right back. Also, 117 is still abnormal--but this just proves that the low-carb diet is working as advertised, because I've never had a reading of 117 before since I started checking my blood sugar in November. I'm loooking forward to even better numbers in the future as my body continues to adjust to its new metabolism.
The bad news is that I'm no longer in ketosis. Arg. I'm not really sure what to do about that at this point other than keep trying what I've been doing and make a run to town for some low-carb sauces, since the sauces are the only place I'm "cheating" at all anymore. I think Trader Joe's might still carry some low-carb stuff.
