I've been struggling for months with cravings, blood sugar levels and was put back on insulin.
COnversation with Chiropractor led us to a discussino on body pH and Insulin resistance.  I confirmed with my WLS nut.... yes, there can be a connection between acidic pH and insulin resistance.

OK, so I examined what I have been eating/drinking....coffee (decaf) and splenda are two of the most acidic foods the body can consume. I've been living off decaf and splenda since my RNY!!!!
Well, I stopped the coffee and splenda... swapped if for herbal, natural teas and stevia.  

I was taken off insulin right before Christmas.  Blood sugars are ranging between 90 and 120!

Coffe of any type (reg or decaf) and black teas are highly acidic.  

and, alot of my 'head hunger' has vanished!!!!

Just wanted to share.... check with your NUT before any major changes.

Don't lose heart.. you are still a newbie!    Keep on keeping on... but seriously, ask you nutritionist about the coffee/tea and splenda vs body hP and how that may impact your insulin resistance.
