mascarpone redux
Ohmigoodness. I just tried the mascarpone (haven't had it before) to
give me an idea of what to make with it for supper. Um, wow. It's just solid cream. (Ingredients: pasteurized cream, citric acid (acidity corrector)). I'm in love. Right now, I'm eating it on Triscuits, with half of them drizzled with thai sweet chili sauce. I'm in love, did I mention that? Probably will make a pasta sauce out of whatever I don't snarf on crackers. This stuff is killer. In other cheese news, I went to the Cheese Board for the first time the other day. Got an incredible D'Affinois, and a lovely soft Jack (telera? no, that can't be right) and some Cotswold (my new favorite cheddar-like substance), and a bit of decent havarti. Cheesy goodness. serene -- http://serenejournal.livejournal.com http://www.jhuger.com |

Mascarpone is great with fresh fruit. Every year when I get ripe
apricots I halve and pit them, put a spoonful of mascarpone in the middle, and top with cherries or berries. I can make a whole tray of them in a short time, no cooking needed, although they are also good cooked this way. It is a simple and refreshing early summer treat. For eating on crackers, I prefer Fontina an Edam. I also enjoy Tallegio when I can find it. Dean G. |

Yes, Gatorade and Ensure will play havoc with diabetes, but there are plenty of things hyou can enjoy and still maintain a proper blood glocuse level. Diabetes can play havoc with the healing process, too. This may have been complicating some of the things you're trying to recover from. > Ob Food: > > In the meantime it's egg salad (no cheese) and ham sandwiches/with swiss > on rye.

There's a wealth of information on the web searching for blood gluclose levels, but a normal reading should not exceed 120. A level of 297 is dangerous. Almost any food can elevate your blood sugar, but foods high in carbohydrates work more rapidly to do so than than foods low in carbohydrates. Simple... What your carb intake and keep it relatively low. >>In the meantime it's egg salad (no cheese) and ham sandwiches/with swiss >>on rye.

I can heartily recommend the One Touch Ultra. I think Wayne said that's the one he uses, too. When were you diagnosed, Michael (I missed the beginning of this)?

Dr. Bernstien's Diabetes Solution Another is "first year as type 2 diabetic" (not sure about the correctness of the wording but somebody will correct me I'm almost certain) both books stress the lowering of carb intake and the impotance of exercise and weight control.

James's cholesterol is ideal, as are his other numbers, and he doesn't eat a drastically low-carb diet.
