Blood Sugar Spike

[Michael5712]

Hello all, my FBS and Random Sugar reading have been in the range of 200 -235 for the last 2 weeks. All efforts - exercise, medication and dies have proved abortive. What medication can I take to bring it down quickly before this damages my organs

If you want to bring your blood sugar down you need to cut out bread, breakfast cereals, rice, pasta, potatoes. Also cut out fruit juice and most fruits, especially bananas and grapes. Strawberries and blueberries are not too bad. You can eat more fat in your diet such as butter, cheese, full fat yoghurt, avacodos and nuts.

A lot of processed foods have lots of sugar. Check the ingredients and if the sugar percentage is high, don't eat it.

You may also consider insulin if you find it difficult to make changes to your diet.

It can help with lowering your glucose levels, but it cannot help to reduce your elevated circulating insulin levels...the other half of the problem that most T2D are unaware of...
