As a type1 diabetic, I follow a Low-Fat, Plant-Based, Whole-Food Diet, which helps me control my blood glucose level very well.
This diet requires me to measure everything I eat, every single ingredient, and count how many grams of carbs and fat they contain. I'm allowed to eat maximum 30g of fat per day, which is a very low amount. I usually take stricked care of it, but yesterday, I was craving for peanuts so much, that I simply didn't care and ate a huge package of peanuts in the evening (90g of fat).
I was sure it's gonna cause a huge spike in my blood glucose level today, and yes, it did 😅 It is extremely high now because my body is full of fat, and the glucose can't get into the cells with the regular amount of insuline. So for this reason, I'm having very low-carb meals until my blood glucose level normalises.
In my opinion, **if we lived only according to the rules, life would be so boring... **😉 I don't encourage anybody to brake the rules, what I'm saying is, not to feel guilty if you cheat on your diet occasionally.
One of my low-carb meals today was ceviche which turned out to be very tasty, by the way. It containes only cucumber, tomato, onion, fresh cilantro, lime juice, a little salt and pepper. 🍅🥒
