Vegetarian - Low Acid

Well, I'm back again! I can't seem to stay on the path to be at my best health. I've gained over 10 pounds since January 2020. Ah, the pandemic weight gain! But realistically, it's the dealing with stress gain. I tell myself while sitting at my computer, if you eat a little snack it will make the work go easier. In a way it does but the weight gain with it is not healthy. I'm now having issues with my blood glucose. Each day when I take it first thing (after night fast) it is above 115 mg/mL which places me in pre-diabetic. Usually through the day, I think my blood glucose stays at a good level. I recently purchased the book, Glucose Revolution by Jessie Inchauspé. It's really interesting. She wears a constant glucose monitor. She finds that adding vegetables or a protein source prior to eating carbs helps to level the blood glucose without spikes.
