Hey guys,
Relatively new to the site, despite having signed up over a year ago, so apologies in advance if my question has been discussed or covered before.
To give you some background - I'm 25 and been diabetic for 22 years. Medicine wise I'm on Levemir in the AM and PM and then NovoRapid as I eat.
I've recently had my bloods done and my HBA1C is the wrong side of what it should be (as the Dr. put it) at 62. I've been on the DAFNE course about 5/6 years ago if I remember correctly.
So my question to you guys is, what foods should I be avoiding (or eating more of) in order to really bring my HBA1C down to the levels it should be?
I eat alot of pasta/spaghetti/rice at the moment and will always try and have some sort of meat/fish for dinner. tried to cut down on my sugar intake as much as poss too.
My only slight issue is that I'm trying to gain size and strength at the gym so sort of need the carbs?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
