I, fortunately, have avoided going on the spike. The threat of that happening
pretty much keeps me on the straight and narrow (more or less).

My last A1c was 4.78 - which my doc says is as good as it gets. He is currently
mulling over me dropping the one oral med that I take and just proceed (under
careful monitoring) with controlling the BS with diet and exercise.

White bread and pasta go to glucose in the system faster than table sugar.
Typically blood sugar spikes then settles down to a dull roar after I do bread,
pasta or corn.

Olive oil and butter contribute to our bodies making more "good" cholesterol
(HDL). I need to get mine up a bit. Exercise also contributes to HDL levels.

  Categories: Appetizers, Beans, Vegetables
       Yield: 4 servings
 
       1 lb Green beans
       1 md Onion, chopped
       2 ea Chopped tomatoes
       1 ts Salt
     1/3 c  Extra virgin olive oil

  When all the moisture has been absorbed, stir-fry the beans
  for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, cover & simmer for
  40 to 50 minutes, till the beans are tender.

  Add more water if necessary, 1/2 cup at a time.

  When cooked, the dish should be very moist but not watery.

  Serve cold as part of a buffet.
