Ok Peeps, during my blood work, they found my sugar and potassium levels were not in the normal range. I have to redo the blood work...ugh. I am trying to eat a little better before the retest. I am only drinking water with flavoring. What should I be eating? I had a salad last night, microwave egg for breakfast and cottage cheese with tomato for lunch and a few oyster crackers. Will have salmon for dinner with a few fingerling potatoes.
Any suggestions?
We do salmon covered in ranch or bleu cheese dressing as a marinade and wrapped in foil on the grill. Quicker cooking can be done in the microwave(no foil, of course).
Larry will grill it.
And no blue cheese for me....
I'm trying to think of healthier things to eat. I have never had to modify my diet except watch my salt intake.

This might give you some ideas on the potassium. There are also potassium tablets you can take if it's low.

Which direction is your sugar levels going? High or low?

Found this for foods to avoid, Molly. Not sure if you eat any of them.
By limiting or avoiding the foods below, it is likely you can move your potassium levels into a healthy range.
All-bran or other bran cereal
Baked potatoes, sweet potatoes or potatoes that have not been “leached” or soaked for 3 to 4 hours, or treated by the double-cook method
Dairy products such as ice cream, pudding, milk, soy milk and yogurt (more than 1⁄2 cup a day)
Dried beans, dried peas, nuts or seeds, or peanut butter
Dried fruits such as apricots, dates, figs, prunes and raisins
Fresh fruit such as avocado, bananas, cantaloupe, kiwi, mango, nectarines, oranges and papaya
Large servings of the allowed fruits and vegetables
Orange juice, prune juice, tomato or V-8® juice
Salt-free or “lower salt” foods that have potassium added
Salt substitutes that contain potassium chloride
Sodium-free baking powder
Sweets such as black licorice candy, chocolate or molasses
Vegetables such as artichokes, large amounts of mushrooms, pumpkin, spinach, tomatoes and winter squash

I eat some but in moderation. Well, except maybe chocolate. 🤪
I found those lists too...the ones about potassium don't really agree with the higher sugar ones. Guess I will try to continue drink water and see what the Dr says
