Thanks Victory Sabre. I already gave up soda a while ago. I still eat fried foods sometimes, usually chicken. Won't be doing that again, at least not until I get this under control and lose the weight. Then, MAYBE once or twice a year for a special treat.
Not sure I could drink apple cider vinegar. We use it for cooking and I've found it makes a great hair rinse mixed with water I do like sour things in general (dill pickles, lemons, etc) so who knows, I might like it.
I like whole grains, too. We grew up eating rye bread, I like it more than white bread anyway. Whole wheat is ok as long as it's not too dry. Not sure about the whole grain pasta - the one time I tried it, it seemed very heavy. But that was years ago, so it's worth trying again.
I do own a meter and I'm using it again, checking at least 3 times a day. Today wasn't bad so far - both times under 100 which for me is an improvement.
I emailed my doc's office to ask for a referral to a dietitian and for some advice on goals: What kind of numbers should I be aiming for on the meter? What's too high (meaning call the doc ASAP)? What's too low? Etc. Hoping for an answer from them tomorrow.
