Diabetes365 day 10 Wednesday, October 17, 2007 - Difficult Food
On Fridays we get free bagels and muffins for breakfast at work. It gives us an opportunity to spend time with colleagues and chat. A really nice idea.
Though I have diabetes I can eat pretty much anything I want. But I find both bagels and muffins are difficult food.
When I eat something that contains carbohydrates I need to take insulin. And bagels, especially yummy ones like this, have a lot of carbs. According to CalorieKing, about 56 grams of carbohydrate for one medium-sized plain bagel. That's like two of my normal breakfasts.
So if I eat one of the bagels I'll spend most of the morning trying to get my blood sugar levels back under control. And I just hate doing that, it's not worth the effort.
There is no cure for diabetes. Yet.
