    don't expect those blood sugar reading to be accurate. it will vary +-20. Subukan mo, take you blood sugar 2 times consecutive magkabilang kamay. Magkaiba ang resulta.

    there is a way to tell if your insulin resistant or not....pag kumain ka ng sweets and carbs at di ka inaatok...your body is efficient in transporting that sugar/energy to the cells, wala kang crash or you are not sleepy...

    that's the easiest part of being diabetic. the hardest part is food selection. you'll realize how much carbs restaurant foods have when you are counting carbs.

    for example, a simple meal sa shakeys na bunch of lunch. halos lahat ng Food na kasama eh carbs. pasta, mojo potato, bread, pizza crust, then the soup is corn soup, also carbs. at syempre ang panulak na soft drinks which is sugar. the only non carb part of that value meal is the side salad.

    I feel awake when I eat chocolates. Must be the caffeine?

    When was the last time you had a checkup? Have you told your family doctor about your concerns? Sugar will provide that initial energy but you'll feel worse later in the day.
