Short Term Memory Loss and Low Sugar Cooking

Me, Pablo Montez, and Mary

I also made a low sugar cherry pie with Great Value No Sugar Added Cherry Pie Filling

Made a taco pie from low sugar barbecue beans and rice with chicken. I add a teaspoon of kelp powder (don't tell Mary) and disguise the flavor with garlic, chili powder, ginger, mushroom, and turmeric. I use Heinz 75% sugar free Ketchup, Great Value Black Bean and White Corn Salsa, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. It had cream cheese and Mexican cheese mix layered in. I sprinkled cheese on top after cooking, then added sour cream and poured Mary's favorite Ortega original taco sauce on top Got the Salsa idea from daughter Wendelyn Daly, the diced tomatoes and green chilies idea (a long time ago!) from sister Terry Eshelman. (or was it her late husband Kris?)
Mary asked for seconds.
Me to Mary: You love sweet barbecue sauce. You'd eat a sandal if it had sweet barbecue sauce on it.
Mary: I don't think I'd eat a sandal?!
(I still think she would!)
Since I've known her, Mary has had short term memory issues. She is high functioning because she has super Ninja awareness, she religiously keeps a calendar, and she uses me to fill in the blanks. Her short term memory worsened during her hospitalization with super high blood sugar (800) and intestinal blockage, which needed major surgery. But even then she kept the staff in the dark with her humor. They asked her if she knew where she was. Her answer? Well, I'm not in Kansas!
Recently, when Mary's relaxed, I've noticed multiple instances of her short term memory working
But,when she's under pressure, like getting ready for her nail appointment today, she can't spell. She ended up cancelling today's appointment cause her tummy was upset.
A few months back, her afternoon readings were always well over 200. A fasting reading was between 180 to 200.
She took her blood sugar at 4 this afternoon, after eating breakfast at 11:30. Today's reading was 167, technically her best reading ever, and especially good for her for a non fasting reading. 

Thought I should pass on the mostly good news.
