Lowering blood sugar level

Depends how high your levels are running at and whether you will consider lowering your carb count.

I think your last posting had quite a few answers given to you. Have you tried any of the ideas.
 
have you had a sudden increase?
what are your levels?

Evidence is inconclusive for an ideal amount of total fat intake for people with diabetes;
therefore, goals should be individualized; fat quality appears to be far more important than quantity.
In people with type 2 diabetes, a Mediterranean-style, MUFA-rich eating pattern may benefit
glycemic control and CVD risk factors and can therefore be recommended as an effective alternative to a lower-fat, higher-carbohydrate eating pattern.
 
@meggie57

Why do you want to bring it down quickly? Depending upon your medication, you may well have to make adjustments to the food you eat or the medication that you are on. This is not achievable overnight, and whatever you do needs to be sustainable long term.
 
Hello Meggie. What have you tried already? There does seem to be a note of urgency in your post. Perhaps a little more information would help posters to help you further. :)
 
Hi Meggie

Did you check out dietdoctor? Your last posting was in April, if you are struggling with your blood levels and weight there is a great posting here from 2 great people..bs levels by @ally1 and @alliebee they really have achieved great improvements with levels and certainly alliiebee with her weightloss.

I am concerned that you may be feeling a bit lost with it all, as you've gone almost 7 months since joining and posting.... We really are a bunch of greatly experienced real diabetics. From all backgrounds, and all walks of life, but, we go great lengths to help people if we can.

We look forward to assisting you, if we can..

Normally, you shouldn't.

It depends how long you've been diabetic, how high your numbers are, and if there are any other complications.
But generally slower is better.
