Buttermilk is made out of skim milk Ray.  I take it that low carb for you also means low sugar? My problem is that I love pasta and tomato-based dishes. I will either have to keep eating those but in much smaller amounts or make other foods that lower in carb and sugar and eat more of it. lol
Hi Sarah!
Sugar is carbs. (1tsp=4g.)
It's not so much that it's a low-carb diet as it is a carb-counted diet. The goal is not to have as few carbs as possible, but rather to have an exact amount of carbs to keep the blood sugar regulated.
While that means eating a lot fewer carbs than before, certainly it has been an effort to get enough carbs at times.
I do avoid high glycemic index foods, such as sugar and other sweets. One reason is the emptiness of the carbs, meaning that there just isn't much other nutritional value to the foods. It doesn't fill you up, and then your carb-count is used up. That's not a fun place to be.
The lower glycemic index foods help you feel more satiated for a longer period of time. Also they tend not to spike the blood sugar readings. If you're looking for low-glycemic foods, the best place to start is by throwing out your Wonder bread and either bake or buy some real bread. We have a bread machine. The bread that we buy at the store is a 12-grain variety that has 6 grams of fiber per slice. The fiber content is an excellent gauge of glycemic index in breads.

The first week or two of counting carbs was not easy. It definitely takes some getting used to. After a while you start to know what and how much you can eat and what their carb count is worth.
My wife...God bless her....math is not one of her best subjects, but she keeps after me and makes sure that I eat right and I help her with the math sometimes. It has been a blessing for me to have someone so dedicated to making the diet work and keeping the diabetes under control.

Counting calories around the holidays must be difficult. It the time when people usually gain weight.

This year will definitely be different. If I eat right then I won't have to take insulin.

My second day went okay it could have gone better.Since it was Thursday which was a RAINY DAY any body who did not need to come in to school did not. Sometime a smaller group is more difficult. Especially when it a certain combination of children. I love all the children in my class but some
of them can be kinda moody.
My my Mentor teacher says I need to practice seeing the whole picture. I tend to only consentrate ((sp?) of the classroom/yard at once. My Mentor says this come very easily to people while others need practice. She is
suggesting me for an a teaching asisstiant (sp?) position. I agree with this.
I also need to relate to parent better open up to them more. A couple of parents have 'complained' about me.
-One of them is a father who is is very sensitive about his daughter. He thinks I crowd his daughter from time to time. He tends to spend a lot of time in the room observing everything and everyone.
-The second is from a mother who has two sons in the school and also works as an aide. I am unclear to what she was complaining about.
All of that being said, I have finished my 225 hours that are needed. And I will probably only go in on Monday to pick-up my water bottle which I left there on Friday and meet with my teacher.

Call it selective memory? 
But I gotta get out of my tomato phase a little and get to cooking with lower g foods. Tomato is good for you but too much is too much sugar. 
I did a little cooking but my aunt did the most of the cooking.
My nerves got the best of me so my timing was totally off. I got stressed and I could not remember what I was supposed to do. I stated diapering late, and I had difficulty delegating tasks. 
I had to be told things that I should know. 
So, instead My mother and I will go and visit my grandmother. Hopefully by then there will be less runners on the road or we can avoid the runners route. The bus I take follows the runners route some. Then there is the rain. People here in Hawaii do not know how to drive in the rain.
