Same amala. Different sugar. That is the only way I know how to explain what happened. For four months I had removed amala completely. And eba. And rice. My readings improved by maybe 1.0 mmol/L on average. But I sat at my mother's Sunday table eating boiled vegetables while she served pounded yam to the rest of the family. I smiled. I said I was fine. I was not fine. My private endocrinologist said reduce carbohydrates. She was right. She had no guidance for a Nigerian household. What a Yoruba elder from Oyo showed me was not how to remove the food. It was how to prepare two specific plants alongside the food so the carbohydrates behave differently inside the body. The same amala. The same egusi. The same family table. Day 21 at my brother-in-law's naming ceremony I took a full plate. Post-meal reading two hours later: 6.8 mmol/L. I had not seen that number after a Nigerian celebration meal in three years. Full story at the link.
