TIME TO SET YOUR PACE

In any marathon race, setting your pace is all important. If you watch professional marathon runners, they are running at the same pace nearly the entire race: at the beginning, in the middle, and at the finish line. They quickly get up to the speed they know they can maintain, and they just keep at it, mile after mile, and hour after hour. They know the race will be over after a few hours, and they are content that until that time, they will just keep on keeping on.

This is what you must do as well. Set your pace of low-carb eating, a narrow (six-hour) window of eating, and the end of all between-meal snacking, and then just do it, day after day and week after week. Christmas will be here before you know it, and you can look forward to vastly improved blood sugar scores and your A1c score. Until that time, you will just keep putting one foot in front of the other, running the race that is set before you!

BE CAREFUL!

In my previous email I warned you about the danger of hypos (dangerously low blood sugar) when you switch from a high-carb diet to a low-carb diet. This is especially true for those taking powerful diabetic meds or insulin. So keep watching your glucose levels by testing with your blood sugar meter.

Do not allow your glucose to drop below 80. If it does, immediately eat some carbs to bring it back into range. And by all means keep your doctor in the loop, and let him/her know exactly what you are doing, and what your blood sugar levels are reading. If you are taking meds or insulin you will probably have to have your dosage lowered. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR!

Get An Approximate A1c

To figure your A1c at home, test your glucose 5 times in one day:

Fasting glucose in the morning
One hour after lunch
Three hours after lunch
One hour after dinner
Before you go to bed
Average these five numbers (divide by 5)

Plug that number into the calculator ON THIS PAGE

This will be a pretty close approximation of your A1c at this time.
