Dietitian Appointment

I saw a dietitian because of my low blood sugar dropping more frequently.  I need to eat 6 small meals a day.  The one issue I have is not eating enough protein since I have to be gluten free. Each time I have a carbohydrate it has to be with a protein.  I was told that my hypoglycemia is a precursor for diabetes.  I have to do this.  I knew before this appointment I needed to add more protein to not just my diet, but Ethan's, too.  Besides adding more protein to my diet, I also have to watch my sugar intake.  I have to check labels to see what the sugar is.  If it is more than 9 grams of sugar per servings, then I can not have it.  I need to get to my meal planning.  I plan from pay Friday to the Thursday before the next pay Friday. 

Ethan sees his dietitian later this month. With Ethan, I need new ideas for lunches and dinners for him.  I am hoping I get ideas for proteins for him, too.
