12. I'm type 2, and unless I'm careful, even the chickpeas

Can spike me. I try to limit my serving to a half cup or less, depending on what I’m having with it. The noodles and rice are the most suspect though. Broccoli is good for diabetics. My team has said it glucose should be less than 180 2 hrs after the first bite of a meal or snack.

Last week I couldn’t get that number if you paid me whenever I ate a tuna sandwich (albacore, Helman’s light Mayo, onion, celery, a bit of dill, mustard, and a 1/2 tsp of stevia sweetened pickle relish on low carb bread).

I’ve been in an exercise program since January to try to affect my glucose numbers. So far they have barely budged, but my BP meds had to be cut in half, and my resting heart rate has dropped about 8 points. I’ll keep plugging away.
