Hi , may I ask if u have T1 or T2 ? I guess it’s probably T1 , given your are very young .
If you take insulin , ur insulin intake should match with ur diet and ur doctor advise , so pls only follow your doctor advise or ask to see a nutritionist.
Im T2 , for me generally it’s better to have less carbs and sugar: less rice , less bread , less potato , no honey or jam , no fruit juice or sweat fruits , ..
But I would ask my medical team because you are on insulin and if u go on a diet that lowers your BG more than intended , it can be very very dangerous.
So please ask ur doctor and check your BG regularly. You can start by changing your diet very slowly , to know your limits . Also a moderate exercise would help if there is no other medical condition. And be very observant of your feelings and symptoms !
It’s very easy to advice ppl here on what to eat and what not to eat , and very comforting to hear from ppl with similar condition but , at the end of the day diabetes is a serious illness and only a medical professional who knows every single detail about your case , should tell you what to eat or not to eat.
I hope things get better very soon. A1c 7.8 is relatively high ( mine was 7.5 at diagnosis ) but it’s not that high compared to many ppl here . Don’t worry. Take care !
