Thanks. That's what I seem to take away from other threads I've read. I don't really care what my interim reading is; I can't see it going up from what it's been. I only see down as an option.

So...when you say "high protein supper" exactly how much protein (or how much meat) are you saying? I know Dr. Atkins had thrown out the number of anything more than 7 oz of meat raising blood sugar. |
