Diabetes and Milks! Rude Awakening....

I love milk..indeed milks..all of them! I especially the cream from milk..especially chilled coconut milk from the fresh squeeze...squeezed out and chilled for a couple of hours.

and as it is tightens take it out, ladled it into a bowl and eat. pour fresh hot coffee with coconut cream. oh man there is nothing more delicious that those two. the natural sweetness oc coconut cream is one of the greatest tastes in existence

and it is dangerous for diabetics for it is sugar. it is not so virulent and destructive but it gets that way with the passage of time. and I was not taking it seriously relegated milks to the end of the line of foods I love but are dangerous

and it is the same with all milk..they are all full of sugar..milk products like cheese as wel. l got to drop all that now. and it coincided when I had just made a batch of coconut milk and had it there in the fridge. at that point I was forced to check my sugar and found it too hign and very resistant to reduction

oh mi god!!

it took me 2 weeks to get it down and end the symptoms..which is why I was forced to check my sugar in the first place...29 points!

so I had to leve my coocnut milk alone. I had to stop using coconut milk. I used my stash on my house plants..as a form of fertilizer. they loved it. I knew they would.

all milks are the same! and egg whites too. the content of my diet is now down to few items. low variety.

I long to eat certain like a lentil/pigtail or beef stew with pure steamed white rice like long time..with some lettuce and tomato slices by the side.

I long to eat ah pidgeon peas with pig tail pelau..with a bowl of calaloo on the side.

I long to eat ah dhal/dumplin soup made by my mother

I long for the biggest, fattest, FRESH dhal pourri roti..jess off the tawa with the meat cook and simmering to keep hot in the pot on the fiyah

look like all ah dat done fuh me now!

how will I survive on jess bush alone! I bought some sammon and the red meat gih mih ah sugar spike. I have to buy white fish now. but love sammon

how can I tell when my sugar is too high without a needle ?

my pinky and index fingers on my left had tightens up awfully quick..hours. they get stiff and cant bend. there you go..get tested..test yuhself or go to the doctor

next sign is an itching right heel. when my right heel starts to itch I am in trouble. when hand and heel together stiff and itching I am in real trouble

I doh need no needle to tell. my eyes can start to run water like crazy. I get emotional easily. I can cry easily..like when i think about my wife. tears flow..so I know I got to move

the effects of diabetes on the body are myriad, can be incredible diverse and stunning! interesting

like I have a contradictory diabetes/ hypoglycemic issue: hypoglycemia wastes me down, quickly, requires that I eat regularly..but what to eat?

and when I eat regularly to deal with the hypoglycemia, the effect on my levels, diabetes are not salutory. the medication Metformin helps a lot with regulation that keeps me standing up. but recently here with this slow and silent build up I wasn't paying attention to was murder. I am still tied up in it.

I had to stop eating..I have stopped eating mostly. at first the hypoglycemic effect was stunning. I thought I would suffer brain damage but the hallucinations were intense, for real. it felt as if my body had dried right out and my parts were grinding on each other. the headaches were intense, constant, consistent. and I was walking in places and in emotional states I never thought existed

who says we need Ganga for the best 'heads'! get hypoglycemia and let it run. but have at least clean water handy for that is the line between heads and brain damage. at least for me water is the savior. I drink water and go sleep. and when I need water again it wakes me up..like an alarm clock.

i don't eat much anymore. I have become accustomed over the past 3 weeks My hypoglycemia appears to be falling into line with my diet- read regularity of eating..which is twice a day, a few mouthfuls...along with some supplements. I am losing weight by the bucket. food is now out of fashion or necessity in my life. the less I can get away with the better..I think.

and I am doing all this literally on my own. I do not follow any advice..and I ask for none. I go see my doctor every now and then but mainly for Metformin prescriptions. he has to re-new all the time. otherwise I pay little attention to what he says. I recognized at some point that i am on my own with this..that the medical profession is out to lunch.

deh put ah sign on deh door..'come back in 3 hours..aftah lunch!'

( )

the fact is that all milk..and milk products.. are full of sugar and dangerous fuh diabetics.

but fuh me coconut milk is a rale lorse, ah serious lorse..I cyar stand dat lorse! I doh know wat I am going to do without it
