I watched first 4 videos on Diabetes University by Dr Bernstein.  Interesting – I liked diagrams of cell showing insulin receptor and clear explanation of how insulin brings glucose into cell. I was struck by him saying every cell of the body is affected by high glucose and roller coaster numbers are worse than steady high. Understood basal & bolus insulin.  Learned more about ketones and how they are a by product of the body burning fat.

Should not have eaten entire avocado (Dr Bernstein does not advocate subtracting fiber so I will not do “net carbs”) – I am going to quit eating so many nuts and see if that helps stabilize glucose.
