Hmm yes I noticed from list to list the foods seem to vary. Yes, I do not eat artificial sweeteners but had some when I had a colonoscopy because it is in the drink they have you drink. Can't stand them. I am also allergic to many things including sulfites and MSG. I pretty much make foods from scratch and grow my own. I can not eat out any where because of my allergies. The only thing I can think of affecting my blood sugar is my medication.
Like you I also consumed too much cheese and was not aware of it. another one was my serving size of rice and starches. Some how I thought I was OK since I was consuming whole grains. Too much of the good stuff is bad too.
I also increased my protein compared to how I ate before. I seem to not like high protein foods. This has helped me with my diet significantly.
If I had extra time I would take on your gardening. What are you growing?
