So I should give some more detail into my diet and the plan I am using.
My goal is strength, so I am not currently counting anything. When I'm on my meal plan 100% I try to avoid: wheat and dairy. Most items that are wheat and dairy free are gluten free, but not all. Honestly the only thing I know about gluten is that it is what makes food stick together. That's why bread is pliable. So if its not gluten free it doesn't matter for the selections.
Anyway, back to the diet. I'm working on lowering my bodies overall PH from super acidic, that's what it is now, to more of an alkaline ph. 7.0 is neutral.
The only Alkaline starch I have found is sweet potatoes. There are a bunch of fruits that are alkaline and some are acidic, like blueberries.
So Sunday through Thursday I follow that outline. No wheat, no dairy, try to get in alkaline foods and still get in some acidic foods (Protein is acidic). The chart said whey protein is alkaline, I'm not sure if that's accurate.
Friday and Saturday I like to take off from my meal plan and just enjoy stuff I like. This is a nice balance for me.
So anyway, tonight I had a shrimp poor boy and fries. I tested my glucose 20 minutes after dinner and it was 83.
It looks like the blood work at the dr was not accurate, or for some reason my blood sugar was high because of my diet at the time.
Even though, I still am planning to use foods that are good for blood sugar: Oatmeal, cinnamon, cherries, mangos and avocados.
I need to make this change anyway because those foods I just listed help my anxiety levels.
Fast foods and sweets, I need to keep to just a couple times a week.

Turbo you were told you are essentially pre diabetic so you went out and ate a plate of nachos.
Dude. Go see a nutritionist and get your shit together. I mean that as a friend. Strength isn't an excuse to eat like shit and destroy your body. You saw how much weight I dropped and in the process my deadlift went up 30lbs in a couple months.

Let me clarify---fasting glucose levels and A1c are completely different tests.
Fasting glucose measures ones fasting glucose levels, a secondary Measure of pancreatic function, as well as other hormonal responses (hormones involved and glucose response that are way too involved for this).
An A1c is the measure that is a marker of glucose levels – it measures how much glucose is attached to your hemoglobin contained in your red blood cells.
A fasting glucose level from 100 to 125, per the American diabetes association, is considered prediabetes.
An A1c from 5.7 to 6.4 is also prediabetes.
Turbo what were your numbers?
Love,
Your CDE pharmacist.
