I am real excited in participating in the fasting other requirements for the holy month of Ramadan.
I have been preparing myself by drinking lots of water now. I have drinking liquid egg white shakes. Egg whites have a high percentage of protien. I purchased pasterized liquid eggs whites add a little of sugar free chocolate syrup and whipped them.. I makes a wonderful protien shake with just the essentials. The egg whites themselves have a slight salty taste. Beside this they don’t have a taste to them. I have also bought quicky foods to eat before the fast at work and after the fast at home. I figure I will go to the mosque to be with others so I won’t feel so alone. Making it to the mosque everyday is hard since I work at night. I will have orange juice on hand if I should feel weak.
Being Type 2 diabetic I have made the following schedule for myself:
- When I go to work I will check my glucose levels and my weight.
- I will be eating lunch and snacks- these will be recorded also take my 1st metformin pill
- At sunrise I will check my glucose levels
- I will go home and normally go to sleep
- Try to last to noon and check my glucose levels- If I am feeling week I will drink some orange juice
- After 12 noon, normally i am practicing my congas or doing other things till around 4 pm
- 4 pm I will evaluate my overal feeling to see if I need anymore orange juice.
- Hang loose till sunset.
- For the first 2-3 days I was going to do lean cuisine meals till I figure out how my stomach is at this point.
Not sure when I shoot inject my levemir. If you have any suggestion about my schedule or anytime on my journey please write them in..
Regards,
C.
