there can be lots of reasons to get these symptoms you mention here obove...
if one is consequent in food choices it is actually easy to gain control.. and get normal blood glucose if you haven´t been diabetic for very long time and havent had much damage from that..
you just need to change what foods you eat and be more active like going for long walks or do fitness or even do some muscle work to get fit..
the foods you can eat a lot of is most vegetables like those grown over ground like tomatoes cucumbers avocadoes zuchinni salats olives and peppers and onions and garlic
and meat all kinds even bacon all kinds of fish but not with coating. almost all kinds of cheese and cottage cheese, nuts, fullfat yoghurt and cream and butter and coconuts
in smaller amounts you can eat berries all kinds, red wine like a glass a day , or spirit without added sugar only 1 drink a day
the foods you should avoid are bread, potatoes grains wheat, corns cornflakes watermelons mangoes and bananas chips all kinds of sweets except those without sugar, cakes and sugary drinks.
try to eat less than 100 grams of carbs a day.. if tat doesn´t get your blood glucose down then go even lower like 50 grams of carbs a day, most peole loose a lot of weight when they eat less than 30-50 grams of carbs a day .. so it is also a fine way to loose weight if one do need that..
seems young people become more aeasily diabetic if they don´t get enough sleep .. so learn to go to sleep early enough to be able to get enough sleep
