Newly Diagnosed Diabetic

Hi,

My mom has been recently diagnosed with diabetes....that is it was last wedneday her BG was 20.8 then on Friday it ws 26.6 and Friday nite it was 27. Since then her sugar level at nite has never come below 20. Could anyone advise me on the diet...that one should take...what is good and how we can reduce her sugar level...

Thanks Sugarless Sue!

My moms's sugar sine the last post that i had, is now under control. We have stoped eating rice, we eat either brown bread or whole wheat pasta. The oil used for cooking too is olive or sunflower monounsutrated oil. She has started eating metformin thrice a day now. Initially she even took cinnamon powder in the morning breakfast. Less salt and no sugar at all in the tea.

However now the weired thingy is my mom doesnt have sugar in her urine. It shows negative in the strips given by the nhs. However when i check her sugar level its between 6-9.

Do u think she really has diabetes. And these NHS are not ready to give me any docs which proves my moms blood test and that she has diabetes.
