Blood Sugar not coming down-

5/4%
 
Hello All, hope you all are good and healthy.

Just updating my Diabetic journey. So my Specialist doctor has informed me that i am T2 diabetic. My body is making insulin but blood is not consuming it properly. She has prescribed me with sitagliptin/metformin 50/1000 Extended Version.

She also told me i will be stopping insulin in few months if the above medicine can control my sugar plus doing some running and eating rite.

Gladly my blood sugars are coming down and now they are staying at 120-150 mark.

Praying for others and stay blessed.

Thanks,
Sami
 
Alkaline phosphatase is a liver enzyme. Maybe a marker of fatty liver disease.
Your diet is going in the right direction, you have really cut your carbs....but it might be advisable to cut them still further to bring your sugars down. I also note that you are still eating high fructose fruits, that will not help. Guava in particular, has a lot more than you think, and unless that apple is extremely small, it will have somewhere in the region of 15-20g carbs in it. Why are you eating the egg without the yolk? There is no need to do without this, this is where the fat and protein are stored. You need to ditch the bread. Baby tomatoes and carrots are again high in sugar. (Baby tomatoes are higher than a normal sized tomato, so you could still have tomato, but about a quarter inch slice? I'd ditch the carrots, too much starch and sugar. You still are eating way too many carbs from fruit and veg. I know you say that you will get rid of the chapati eventually, but it is really better to get rid of it now, since the longer you still eat chapati, the longer you will crave them. There are still carbs in your peanut butter, you need to count ALL carbs into your totals.
 
Have you been drinking a buttload of water? Water dilutes the sugar in the kidneys. It is very important. And it has to be watet. I was diagnosed about 2 mths ago. But on the days that I don't drink my quota of water my BS has been unusually high. See if that helps tje next couple of days.
 
Hello, All. Thank you so much for all the help i have received. So here are my updates..

I am currently taking 2000 MG Metformin.. and 10 mg cholestrol tablet.

My sugar is now floating around 90-110 early morning and then 70-90 in the evening.

My hba1c reading has dropped from 12.26 to 9.0.. I think i am getting better..
 


Hey Sami hope you are feelling better. When my blood sugar is high i have a glass or 2 of lemon water (1-2lemons) depending how high .i also drink 2 liters of water immediately after the lemon water and my bood sugar also comes down .... if your looking for something more simple ...this last option is my favourite.... boil about 2 sticks of cinamon in about 500ml to 700ml water on stove top for atleast 20minutes or longer , having this "tea" every morning is helping me keep blood sugar right with all my medications as well...its also very yummy .... you will be okay i know it feels ****** now but it does get better .... <3
