[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2222982, member: 480869"] You are going to have to turn everything you though you knew about diet on its head. Even better forget you knew anything and start from scratch. The low carb way. Bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, grains, flours, most fruits except berries, cereals including porridge all need cutting out bit by bit as well as the sugar. Fill up on fats and proteins, don’t go hungry. It’s going to feel weird and naughty but it works. For blood glucose, weight and for most people cholesterol and blood pressure too, along with inflammatory conditions, mood, and many other things. But as said above starting from such a high point and being on so much medication you are going to need to switch to low carb gradually and keep a closer eye on blood levels. Test before and 2hrs after each meal. Random tests show little of use other than in your case they are way too high. That will soon show you what sends you high and what keeps you stable. You will need to reduce medication as you decrease carbs. There are official guidelines we can share if your nurse doesn’t know what to do or is resistant to the idea. [/QUOTE]
