low sugar or gain a million

I have come to the conclusion that I will have to continue to eat throughout the day so I don't get too dizzy to move. What can get me stable without causing me to put on the weight of a hippo?

Fruit oranges r t best

yep any cheese that has ingredients you would expect to see in cheese :-)  swiss is my favorite!

[mommaAgain]

Thanks. Lol sorry I didn't say it right the first time. What about those colby jack sticks? U know if those are good?

[Factorymomma]

Ooooh! Lol like Kraft brand cheese slices are ok, usually walmart or store brand  aren't ok.
Any sliced cheese that has homogenized oil in the ingredients.(usually the very first thing) is just solidified, food colored, oil.
Sliced cheese that has similar ingredients to kraft cheese is good :-).

Is chocolate covered almonds ok? Lol I love almonds. Ill be heading to the store to stock up on some nuts

[mommaAgain]

U didn't offend I was asking... is the sliced cheese real? I really have NO idea. Doesn't it have to be pasteurized?

You can gain lots off cheese tho.. I learned the hard way! I get cheese sticks from costco and have 1. A day. But nuts are good and peanut butter. You are actually supposed to have about 8 servings of grain per day also so sandwiches are good for that and english muffins with peanut butter. Do hard boiled eggs are a quick thing to take on the go too.

I didn't mean to offend :-(  I honestly thought cheese was cheese until a couple years ago. I didn't know that if it said "hydrogenated oil" it was pretty much worthless to a diabetic when trying to control sugar.

[mommaAgain]

Real cheese. Assume ur talking to an idiot. Lol

Peanut butter is great at stabilizing blood sugar.  It takes just a little bit, you can put some in some celery as a snack and it'll help.
It processes slower than refined or fruit sugars.  And it's actually suggested for hypoglycemics to ready a pb sandwich before bedtime to ensure their sugars stay in a safe range throughout the night.
That and cheese ;-)  real cheese, not that hydrogenated oil stuff lol.  A little goes a long way.
