Hey everyone I am newly a diabetic and i have no clue what to do or what to eat. I have horrible mood swings when my sugar fluctuates which is putting pressure on already strained relationships. Please advise
 
Hi @Zarah

Let me tag @daisy1 for you as she has some basic information

Are you on any meds? Do you test your blood sugar at home? What kinds of things do you eat in an average day?
 
Hi @Zarah your mood swings may be linked to high blood sugar. Before I got my blood glucose levels down I experienced exactly the same symptoms as yourself. I'm usually pretty easy going so my family and friends were puzzled by my irritability. Once I got my blood sugar under control I was back to my usual placid self. Here is a link to a website which was hugely helpful to me www.dietdoctor.com
 
I test 2 times a day and eat mostly brown wild rice with a protien and veggies
