Diabetic Nutritionist Appointment
Got back home just after 3:30 pm from my appointment at the Diabetes Clinic today.
This was my second appointment in two days at the clinic, as this one was to see the diabetic nutritionist and dietician. Today's appointment was at 1:00 pm, and I went in and saw Liz around 10 past the hour. We spent a good hour and a bit on this appointment.
I feel pretty good about the results of this appointment. My knowledge about diabetic friendly foods and diabetic dietary habits and nutrition is still pretty good, and as valid as it was back when I first took the course and spoke to a nutritionist back in 2008 (she had the date on file!). I went to get a bit of a refresher course, and to see if I could get some ideas and thoughts on my eating and dietary habits, and get some input on what should change and all that. Liz gave me some good advice about stuff, and told me that I'd been filling in the blood sugar logs properly, as those give me an indication of times and places where my eating habits need to change.
All in all, I got a lot of food for thought (pardon the pun) and some good advice on where I need to change my eating habits for the most part. Well worth the visit today.
