Nutritionist

Today I had a super-exciting meeting with the Healthy U nutritionist. We had a chat about my pre-diabetic status and what that all means and how I can make it go away. It turns out that having a high glucose level doesn't have a lot to do with sugar-- it has a lot more to do with having a wide range of calorie intakes (this week my lowest day was 1,500, my highest almost 5,250.) Having that range of calories apparently confuses my liver. Also, eating at weird, random times of the day also makes my liver a little angry.

So, her #1 thing for me this week was to EAT SOMETHING EVERY 4 HOURS!

I never in my life imagined I would have a nutritionist telling me to eat more. But she's a LDE a Licensed Diabetes Educator, so I suppose I should trust her that this is what I need to do to avoid getting the dreaded disease.

I also need to start exercising. I have absolutely been a lazy-butt and need to get on that.

I have been a much better eater though, that's been good. I have successfully integrated about 2 apples and an orange into each day this past week-- I don't see why that shouldn't continue for you know, the rest of my life. :)

I am thinking about getting involved in other types of fruits and such-- we'll see if I can make another week with 2 apples and an orange each day.

Thanks for reading, all four of you! <3
