Eggsceedingly frustrating
I’ve been having a really hard time controlling my afternoon blood sugars lately.
On Monday, during lunch, I decided I might have some luck if I do it low-carb. Eggs have always been good for me – they are filling, and when it comes to blood sugars, they are predictable.
So when I went to the cafe downstairs at my office to order my lunch, I asked for a cheese-and-veggie omelette, expecting I’d have a good afternoon. I declined the toast that normally accompanies the meal (still being Passover, bread and bread-related products are off-limits anyway).
Well, no such luck. The simple combination of eggs, cheddar cheese, mushrooms, peppers, and onions sent my BG up high. Four hours (and several correction/rage boluses later), I’m still waiting to recover.
