Here is something fun and delicious to make that is good to make a sandwich with when blood sugar too high to have bread. I love this stuff. And if I think I’m eating too many egg yolks I use just the egg whites. But he whites alone doesn’t work as a bread substitute. I just stir it together in a skillet, but for a sandwich I use a whole egg just like they say do in this video. I like to add different spices to it for variation or shreds other veggies added to it. It’s great to have as a sandwich and add a slice of onion and tomato between bread with the meat.its called cabbage bread. It’s not bread but holds a sandwich together without carbs. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WRXq7USvfms
Low magnesium also can cause and I think certain b vitamins. Also if I go too low on carbs for too long my blood sugar will go much higher when I do eat carbs. The reason for this is if a person goes into keto or very low carb the pancreas will stop working because there is no sugar to react to. So then if you go eat a bumpy of carbs the pancreas just sits there because it’s gone on vacation . So then the blood sugar spikes higher than ever. It is not good to have swinging blood sugar like that because it can damage organs over time. So I always try to east 12 to 20 starch carbs at a meal with veggies and protein. I don’t count green vegetable non starchy vegetable carbs because the starch or sugar in those are so slowly digested that there is little effect. So I’ll have 3 oz very lean meat or two eggs. Or 4 oz tofu, or a serving of fish or 3 oz skinless. broiled or baked chicken. Nothing fried. I’ll have 2 or 3 cups vegetables. Then for my carb only 12 grams starch carbs like 1 slice whole grain bread, or 1/3 cup mashed potato or 1/3 cup peas, beans, or lentils, or whole grain rice or other starch veggie or grain. For dairy I eat very low fat mozzarella string cheese, or 1% fat kefir, or a cup of fat free yogurt. Fruit is counted in place of a starchy carb and eaten with protein like low fat cheese or yogurt not to exceed 12 carbs because fructose from fruit is hard in the liver like alcohol and is absorbed more rapidly. Berries are the lowest carb fruits. Nuts not to exceed 1 ounce and the carbs must be counted in them in a meal as they can spike sugar too if too many or if combined with other carbs, I try to eat my veggies first then he meat ie hem together and the carb last if possible to slow sugar absorption. Olive oil is very healing to the liver and will help control blood sugar. Keep salt at 1500 mg and not over. Keep saturated below 14 grams a day and the closest to 10 is best. It’s hard to avoid saturated fat completely. Avoid coconut oil, palm oil, cheap omega 6 cooking oils like corn oil, soybean, etc as they are very inflammatory. Walk 5,000 or more steps per day and do some weights or muscle exercises with weights or resistance. Cardio burns sugar short term but excess without strength training loses muscle. So have to keep good muscle composition because muscles store and use up sugar. Muscles at rest will still burn sugar and calories.also if you don’t eat any carbs at all your electrolytes will get off and there will be severe dehydration. Excess salt can cause dehydration too because in diabetes the kidneys will try to purge excess sugar or excess salt. Fermented foods will heal the gut and the gut flora will eat excess sugar.so kefir, yogurt, Kimchi, natto good.
Use the diet recommendations on Canada.gov and University of Chicago for cirrhosis of the liver. Fatty liver causes type 2 diabetes and exasperates hs, walk at least 5,000 steps per day. Do Low carb and almost no saturated fat. Eat 2 to 4 tablespoons extra Virgin olive oil. Get a fibro scan sonogram on liver even if enzymes ok. I was about to go into full blown cirrhosis and my enzymes were fine. If you can’t walk do weights and chair yoga but must do a lot of exercise every single day along with the diet, reverse your fatty liver and your hs will clear up and you’ll be able to get off metformin. The diet is a low carb and as little saturated fat as possible. Lots of veggies. Up the extra Virgin olive oil. It has special polyphenols that clear fat out of the liver and heals liver scarring. Don’t eat sugar or high glycemic fruits, fructose is as bad for liver as alcohol. Eat fat free yogurt and low-fat or fat free kefir for the probiotics. Use cronometer,com to make sure not vitamin deficient. Low vitamin D and other deficiencies also cause diabetes and HS especially if dark skin in northern climate, so check blood levels,
