Blood sugar reading before eating: 110
This reading of 110 was 3 hours after testing at 124 following my Mexican food. I was getting kind of hungry and the bananas looked like they were getting pretty brown.
Blood sugar reading after eating: 271
This reading was about an hour after eating my three bananas.
271??!! I was like, “THAT’S BANANAS!” Then I had a hearty laugh at my amazing pun. It was super funny.
So I tested again on a different finger: 262
And again on a third finger: 284.
OKOK DIABETES. YOU WIN. I WON’T EAT BANANAS EVER AGAIN. Goddamn.

Do ALL Campbell's soups suck for diabetes? Yeah, just about.
The more green the banana the less it will spike your glucose. Thankfully, I like them that way the best anyway. I’ve read several of your posts and find them interesting. It’s yours to do with what you want but here’s some feedback – I wince everytime you use the word GD. I’m agnostic now but didn’t grow up that way and it’s hard to ignore even though for the most part I know we attribute meaning to words and the words themselves are not bad. Wishing you all through your diabetic journey. Looking up things today because mine got up to 448 yesterday!!!
Hello Smileeys, thanks for commenting! Sorry if my constant use of GD offends you, but I have committed myself to referring to “diabetes” as “GD diabetes” as a general style rule. Diabetes is bad, so if there is a god, then he/she/it should damn it straight to hell. Hence GD diabetes. And I confess to peppering in GD elsewhere, but not with the same gusto. Believe it or not, GD is one of the cleanest words in my vocabulary! But I try to restrain myself when writing for public consumption.
Be careful with that glucose and stay healthy! 🙂
