Yes- if I eat similar, or familiar foods. It’s somewhat predictable. But there are the mystery foods like donuts- is a donut 50 g of carbs or 65 g of carbs? Cinnamon raison toast? What happens to me is that about 3-4 hours after my bolus for a donut, I would drift lower, the insulin is still working. One solution that I developed is that I only eat half of a donut, and take less insulin than if I ate a whole donut. Honestly, who wants to eat only half of a donut? Argh, I am frustrated with diabetes, annoyed that I would need to eat half of a donut so that I don’t have to spend so much effort on managing the BG’s! Sorry to have hijacked this thread and I am venting here. ---

I like most of Matthew McConaughey’s movies, but this last one I totally didn’t understand. It was kind of a short movie too. I saw it on TV. I’m glad I didn’t pay for a movie ticket for this one. ---

It’s too bad cinnamon doesn’t cure diabetes, because with the amount of baking I’ve been doing while stuck at home, I’d be cured by now. 😆 ---

Some folks out there keep mentioning vinegar! In Chinese cuisine, it’s often recommended to have soysauce and vinegar with very fatty dumplings because the vinegar helps of the digestion of the fat. But I’ve never seen conclusive evidence that vinegar cures diabetes. (I do take my resistant starch daily). ---

I firmly believe cocoa/chocolate has a miraculous impact on BG levels… …by reducing stress levels. 😉 Unfortunately, chocolate is currently on my “can’t consume” list. 😭 ---

It may not cure diabetes, but soysauce and vinegar does taste lovely together. ---
