Hello, My name is Ana and I've been diagnosed 3 weeks ago. I had a glucose test yesterday (I didn't had any symptoms when I drank it), and tons of other blood tests, which I'll have the results in 12 days and meet my endo again a week after.
When I met my endo, without any blood tests (he was suppose to receive my previous blood tests resuls by fax by my fam doctor but didn't in time) he suggested that I have hypoglycemia and to stop eating potatoes, pasta, sugar, rice and to consult a dietitian specialized in hypo.
I have my first appointment with her in 2 months.
But while I wait, I'm a bit at lost on what I can and can't eat.
Also, I love to cook!
I've been eating quinoa, salads, 12 grains bread, and veggies. Nothing much. I eat the same thing everyday, which is starting to get very boring.
Thankfully, I love to eat healthy and I don't really have a sweet tooth, so it's not hard to cut on cakes since I don't love cake, but I do indulge myself in chai latte, since cinnamon is suppose to be good.
My husband's aunt gave us apple croustade 3 days ago made with honey, which I ate without a problem, I didn't feel any symptoms at all.
Oh and sushi made with brown rice. With avocado, salmons and cucumber, shrimps and other veggies!
So, I would like to know,
What kind of sugar can I eat exactly?
Is honey and maple syrup good?
What flour can I use?
I'm working on "translating" my beloved cook books and change every recipes I have to cook it "hypo-friendly"
I live close to a "Health tree" store, where they sell everything organic, and healthy for diabetics, gluten free, so getting the ingredients that might be rare for some is not a problem at all for me.
Thank you for your help and answers, looking forward to be an active member in this community.
