Have you had all the tests to confirm a type 2 diagnosis rather than Type 1?

We will find it hard to help unless we know what meds you are taking or whether you have any specific foods you dislike....

If you are still running with high levels you will need to reduce your carbs to minimise the effect they have on your bloods....

What levels are you currently getting on a typical day?

i dnt know actually either i m type 1 or type 2. which test will describe it?

i m taking metformin,,,,, 750 mg aftr launch & 500 aftr dinner......
 
What are your blood glucose levels on an average for a day?

You should have had a GAD and cPeptide test done as well.

It's rare that a young person would be diagnosed as a T2 and out on metformin. Although it is hoc curing more nowadays.

However, can you give us a basic 24 hour guide as to what you eat now? We can then try to help regarding changes and or additions that could be made.
 
yaah i know it is rare.. but i did quite well with this meds for the last year,,,, on that time my hba1c was 6. but now i shifted here in gujarat from my country,out from my family,Don't maintain the routine food, actually i can't though i try to maintain. i heard that though one takes low carbs & proper medicine, if his food consumption doesn't maintain routine it increase blood sugar, is it true?

i take 2 egg fry & 4 slice bread (80 gm) in brkfst, after 3 hours in lunch 3 cup rice & vegetables, after 3 hours one egg & three slice of bread, & after 3 hours take my dinner with handmade bread by wheat (round 30gm per bread) with vegitable,,,, that is the end of my day
 
What are your daily blood readings?
 
Hi. I agree with Donnellydogs that Late onset T1 is more liely than T2. The GAD and c-peptide tests are the ones to use. The treatment regimes are similar i.e. low-carb diet, tablets and possibly insulin in the longer term. You are having a fairly large amount of bread so you may want to reduce that a bit?

not a problem... but what will be the alternative foods? i mean which healthy food can i take as much as i wish?
 
Well your diet doesn't include any healthy vegetables at all. You are eating constant carbs which will be overloading you with glucose.

You need to include healthy fat and protein and minimise the carbs you are eating.. Ie bread, rice pasta should be lowered. Yogurts (full fat Greek yogurts are good) with fruit, or nuts and include vegetables.
 
Sorry just re read... You are eating vegetables.... Sorry... Mis read that.

So, are you able to eat chicken for tea or a white meat instead of bread?
 
And there probably isn't such a thing as a "healthy juice" as all juice is carb-rich.

And probably no kind of food where you can eat as much as you like. Salad greens maybe. Or good fats - maybe.

i will try ..... if it is in my home then there was no problem & i was used to eat vegetable,fish, meat abundantly instead of carbs riched food,,,, but thing is different right now
 
Above ground vegetables are great ..... below ground (potatoes etc) maybe NOT so great. Leafy green stuff is really good. Carbs for those are almost zero or close enough to it. Fish and meat are OK as well .... bland so no sauces if you can avoid them
