Food and blood sugar
Yesterday I took a muffin and about 5 wheat thin crackers about two hours before dinner. Imagine my shock when I saw that my blood glucose showed a reading of 163 mg/dL! 
I postponed dinner by two hours and got on my exercise bicycle. There was no way I was going to eat anything till my blood glucose level had gone down further.
We went to Denny’s for dinner and I order grilled lemon tilapia on rice pilaf and my side dishes were corn and sliced tomatoes.
About two and half hours after dinner, I took another blood glucose reading. How relieved I was to see that it was at 89 mg/dL.
Today at dinner, we went to a Chinese restaurant. We order steamed oysters, crispy roasted chicken and salt and pepper shrimp. Two hours later my blood sugar reading was 80 mg/dL.
Both times I remembered to take my gymnema sylvestre tablets before dinner and my alpha lipoic tablets after dinner. I firmly believe they help in the lower absorption of glucose into my bloodstream.
No more wheat thin crackers before dinner!
