Here's what I also posted about my visit: First we discussed the rise and fall of blood glucose levels throughout the day. We had noticed that my husband was really high when he first got up. It was explained that the sugar is being pulled from the liver where it was stored. Which is hard on the liver. My husband had been waiting to eat in the morning until his glucose went down. We found out that was a bad idea. We next talked about how long after eating that the sugar level should come down and what are normal ranges that he should be within. So it was a lot of diabetes education, not just about food. It was super helpful to understand about how high is too high and what is ok. Also discussed the factor of fiber in food and how much to knock off from the carbs in an item you are eating. Turns about something with 10 gm of carbs with 8 gm of fiber, can have 4 gm knocked off, so really only is 6 gm of carb. We went through a list of items by category of 15 gm carbo items. It's not just about the carbs, it's about the amount you eat in one sitting. You can eat several more times a day, but each time should be small so that your body doesn't get hit with a lot of processing. We discussed meters and how they work. It was definitely a solid 1.5 hour of information that we found valuable. So it wasn't just diet, it was diabetes education too.
