These new words are hilarious. Ever thought about submitting them to Webster? That blueberry cheesecake looks delicious, but also interesting. I think this is the first time I'm seeing something like it. It looks too small for a whole cake, but too big compared to a slice. It looks overall different from what I am used too.
Since my family has a history of diabetes and heart problems, I have been very conscious of the food I eat. I had been diagnosed with prediabetes, so I limit my sugar intake. Rice is a food that I find irresistible, and have too much of. I eat it 3 times a day, and in large amounts. But since rice can increase sugar, I try to compensate by not eating any sweets instead. I don't eat chocolates, candies, and ice cream.
I do need to increase my activity level. I spend most of my days sitting in front of the computer.
I was hoping someone would comment on those two words I made up, you're the first.
That cheesecake is a single serve made individually as you see it rather than cut off a larger cake. It's bloody tasty, not too sweet and a great texture...really nice with coffee.
It's good to hear you limit sugars, but keep your eye on carbohydrate intake which is (unfortunately for you) all rice is. sugars and carbohydrates go into the blood as the same thing (glucose) and whilst some carbs have a lower (better) glycaemic index than sugars there're still not that good for someone who is pre of full diabetic generally. I'm sure your doctors know what they're talking about though, so follow their advice and hope they don't get it wrong.
In respect of activity, a brisk 45 minute walk every day will work wonders with your blood glucose levels. Give it a try.
That does sound wonderful. My father also likes blueberry cheesecakes, and he has diabetes so it's been a long time since he's had one.
Thank you for the tips. I have reduced my overall intake of rice as a whole, but I still eat it with most meals. I will try to find time to get that brisk walk in though.
Good luck, hopefully things don't progress too quickly and you'll able to manage the situation.
Thank you very much. I hope so too.
