The Froo-Froo Bits:
This was a good day, despite its start. I had a "purge" day. I went to the bathroom 7 times before noon. Yeah. 'Nuff said about THAT. Other than that, and the late start to the day that it caused, this was a good day.
We tried something new. We split up the bitter melon, and I ate half in a my breakfast smoothie & half with a dinner smoothie. Bitter melon is VERY bitter, and also very odd textured. Mr. Primack advises that all diabetics eat half in the AM and half later in the day. We'd been putting all of it in the morning, and we've decided that its okay to have smoothie twice a day. My hope is that by splitting up the bitter melon, I'll be able to reduce my insulin even more. Maybe. We'll see, won't we.
