I've been wondering if it's worth going homeopathic route, any advice greatly appreciated.
homepathi is a dangerous road to try, because blood glucose is not helped by that small amount of traceminerals or substances..
have you tried metformin, it helps the blood glucose down a bit , in my case my morning levels would be around 6.5-7.5 mmol if not on metformin where my numbers are usually around 5.5-6-5 ..
try metformin.
of natuaral medications none do really cure diabetes, some herbs do lower blood glucose a bit like the cheap kind of cinamon..
but not substatially...
you need to do something that works for sure and not take hazardous chances if you ask my opinoin... when you have found a more effective medication, Or if you go really low carb like under 30 grams a day or so, then maybe you could try adding all the more natural "experiments" I myself am thinking of trying the Auervedic medication Triphala that is claimed to better diabetes somewhat..
unfortunately there is no real cure yes not in traditional medications but alo not in natural medications like herbal and /or homepathic kinds
Yes I'm on 500mg 4 times a day .
okay .. have you counted your carbs and stayed under like 80 grams od carbs a day and none in the mornings?
in the mornings..like avocao or eggs and bacon or meat with roasted tomatoes coconut most have most trouble of insuline resistance in the mornings, some also eat a little cheese stick or pork scrathings or 4-6 nuts right before sleep to try to block their overproductive liver the next morning, it can be a good idea to eat either right away when getting out of bed if you are the type where the liver stops overproducing glucose when you do eat your breakfast...
another way to also add a lowering affect of average blood glucose is "intermittent fasting" like NOT eating between 19 o´clock till next midday at 12 o´clock those many hours lower insuline and also give the body a rest from the fatal carbs, and many do get a much lower blood glucose from that strategy added on a low carb diet. where you only eat in a time-wondow of like 7-8 hours a day
exercise and meditation can also add to a better overall picture of blood levels
berries are a much better choice than fruits as there is much more fibre in and a lower levels of fruit-sugar
It's a shame as I can't stand most of what you listed, nuts I can't eat due to my stomach not handling them ( I'm meant to see a gastroenterologist, again hospital seem to be all over the place ) as well as i was meant to see a dietician (still no appointment.)
Thank you all.
Typical day of food would be;
Breakfast- kidney beans and a few mixed seeds.
Snack - 1 or 2 wholegrain ryvitas
Lunch - Either 2 boiled eggs and lettuce or vegetables , just the frozen mixed sruff.
Snack- an apple
Dinner - Vegetables with chicken or sausage or cous cous and veg.
but how about cheese and meat all kinds and fish (without coating) ? and shrimps and mayo
I'm having Tuna salad tomorrow.
Fish I only eat tuna or sometimes cod.
Meat only chicken or gammon sometimes Sausage.
Not a fan of cheese but occasionally I'll have some Halloumi .
Thank you. Yes it has finally healed. It burst a little on Christmas night which started the draining process. It was absolute agony and because I had just been diagnosed diabetic and it wasn't under control they could surgically drain It like they wanted to.There are quite a few foods in your list which would spike me such as kidney beans, ryvitas and cous cous.
The other thing I would be asking about is your infection. Has it healed? Are you on any medication for it, or other medication at all? These are factors which can affect our blood sugars and if your infection was as bad as it sounds, your body could still be fighting it, which could cause higher than normal bs.
I think possibly a few more tweaks to your diet, and plenty of patience to see if your bs settle down after your infection, could result in an improvement.
Hang in there and don't give up!

I have just come off amoxicillin double dose again for a mouth of ulcers which hasn't healed .
