[QUOTE="sno0opy, post: 2226289, member: 513948"] Unfortunately, your diet is very likely to be your problem. Allot of those foods are very high in Carbs, some high in fructose and sugars. Some diabetics can eat those things and get away with it, however if your more sensitive because you have heavy insulin resistance or reduced insulin production you cannot process it even if you did exercise all day. The main thing you should do in my view, is get a blood glucose meter – they are cheap and easy to use – you will see loads of guides and details on the forum and elsewhere. But test your blood before, and 2 hours after each meal – keep a log of what your eating and see what increases your blood glucose. For allot of people, bread, fruits (especially things like bananas), wraps, rice, (even whole wheat, the protein bars are often cut with carbs (I haven’t seen many that are not very high in carbs). All these things can send your bloods well out of range, even with exercise. Most of your diet while healthy for a normal person, is full of carbs which can raise your blood sugars as a diabetic. To what degree you will only find by testing. I am very active myself; I do 4 or more long session in the gym a week, along with additional sports and cycling on the weekend. I can’t eat like I used to and I have had to cut loads of what I used to rely on. The main thing is, get a meter – all the advice you will get on this post about what and will not raise your blood is speculation – every one is different and you need to be armed with the facts. Test before and after your meals – read up on when and how to test. You may be sadly surprised about what is causing your high HBA1C and need to make some changes. If you don’t, ultimately the NHS just follow the standard guides and will just keep increasing your meds which is a downward spiral. If you change your diet and test, still get very high results – get tested for other types of diabetes, as its rare but possible to develop Type 1 in later life. [/QUOTE]
