Hi Ender-
I am so sorry you had such a high 2 hour number. Dang it!!
Just one comment. Lay off the boost Plus. You can get your calories and fat in a much healthier manner than these drinks. First of all, the main ingredients is corn syrup solids. This is TERRIBLE for inflammation... so not only are you affecting your lung inflammation, but your other organs are going to have real trouble, including your already compromised pancreas. Secondly, Boost Plus has 350ish calories and 45 grams of carbs.... You might as well have a large coke. just bc they market it as healthy food does not mean it is. You basically are drinking crap corn syrup with vitamins added.
Make healthier choices. Two TBS of almond butter has 200 calories and 6 grams of carbs. Your pancreas will love you for it and our body can assimilate this kind of fat much better than high oleic sunflower oil, corn oil. I use a little almond milk and mix the almond butter into it and drink it..... Use sunflower butter, cashew butter, almond butter, pumpkin seeds.... they are high calorie and and low glycemic.
Don't forget about coconut oil... it is great as well. However, it is hugely anti-fungal so you may experience some yeast die-off and that can be unpleasant.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
You may be glucose intolerant, but I believe you can stave off diabetes by just making a few adjustments. I know it sucks. I was DEVASTATED when I became diabetic....I did not think I could handle it. But, it is just another thing to do... To be honest, I am so much healthier since becoming diabetic bc I finally realized what I put in my mouth matters.
keeping you in my thoughts.

Hey, you know, thinking about it, when i was testing my glucose levels in Toronto and they were high, i was also consuming a large amounts of boost plus (like 3-5 bottles a day). I'm so glad that you mentioned it, cause i probably would have never put it together. Ya know you get so involved in your own things (like supplements etc) that you never think it could actually be something your doc prescribes you.
I'm gonna take a break from the boost plus and ask for a retest. Thanks for the insight. Thanks again guys. This is what i love this site for....
