[QUOTE="Madbazoo, post: 444671, member: 80058"] You are correct. BG levels should be kept in single figures and preferably under 7 if your husband wants to avoid any of the complications associated with Diabetes. Once these start it can be difficult to reverse them so he needs to change now. It looks like he needs a complete change of diet. Read the posts on the forum as there is so much information on diet. Although not always recommended by the medical professions you will find most contributors on here believe in the benefits of reducing intake of carbohydrates as it is these that your body converts to sugars. My advice would be to eliminate all sweets, cakes, biscuits, sugary drinks including most fruit juices, white bread, potatoes in most forms, vegetables grown below ground, white rice, pasta, pizza, pies and fried foods. Also anything using refined white flour. Watch out for all breakfast cereals which can be high in both carbs and sugar. If buying supermarket packaged, tinned or frozen foods look for the traffic light symbols and avoid most things with red lights. Substitute wholegrain seeded bread, brown rice, wholemeal pasta, green vegetables (or grown above ground as less starch). Increase your proteins such as lean meats, chicken, fish, eggs etc. This is not an extensive list but should get you started. Its also much easier if the whole family joins in. Smaller portions together with regular exercise ( if only a half hour walk every day) will also help to reduce BG levels as well as weight. Keep asking questions.
