OK,
I've been diabetic for years, given the below and on "general" meals would appreciate your advice.
I have found an "example" of a food which fits,
so I find my blood sugars stay LOW and stable when I get ENOUGH carbs, if that carb has a lot of protein and/or fat the carb spikes less, I don't get a rebound and my sugar stabilizes, starving doesn't work, also makes me hungry, I then binge eat crap.
so, "apparently" my target per MAIN meal is no more than 70gms carbs
we'll say 2500 cals/day.
I'm on some newer meds which expels the excess sugar in the urine, nothing excess stores as fat, so actually I've lost weight.
So take this as a meal
Egg and Bacon Bagel (with lettuce, toms, mayo)
I've calculated for this meal
22gms protein
53gms carbs
22gms fat
500cals
I'm well within my target
"why" can I not have a "sugary bloated" drink say 70gms sugar, instead
of a meal, I'd still be in my zone and withing my calories, 500-700cals (i'm guessing)
Of course the answer is it's not healthy.
So I'm trying to play and convince myself, every now and again, I can have a binge, despite my sugar issues
What could I pair with the bagel, to make it say a more balanced meal?
Thanks
J
