hi ,new here ,I see lots of information and advice ,I was wondering if there are from people speaking from experience or are any from medical professionals ?
we are mostly just ordinary people giving advice from our own personal experiences, our advice will differ so you may have to choose which stuff you listen to, but all given with the best intentions, best of luck
yes always, but so much useful helpful info here, we all deal with our diabetes in a different way, you get to learn from our mistakes and successes if you want to
how do I know which type of diet I should be on ? I never eat rice ,white bread ,pasta anyway , I eat plenty of vegetables ,meat,fish,chicken,etc ,all organic a little brown bread sometimes ,I don't eat confectionary ,sweets or takeaways how can I improve on that ?
it is harder for folks that have a good diet already are you heavy? weight loss helps our blood glucose levels, do you have access to a meter to self test? exercise is also a very useful tool to lower bg if you are able
it takes a while to settle, are you testing before food and 2 hours post food? the trick is to discover which foods/meals spike you, we find reductions in carbohydrates help but you dont sound like you eat many now so i guess test and see whats putting it up, what number are you getting?
ahhh theres maybe the problem, fruit is high in vitamins etc but very high in sugar, berries are best for diabetics, i loved fruit but dont eat anything but berries now, maybe worth cutting the fruit and seeing what happens to your numbers
