| Hi, Jenbaz!
Welcome to the forum.
What most people find is necessary is to cut back on carbs. This means eliminating or cutting down on "white" foods: bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, flour, sugar. How much you cut back on carbs is up to you, but you need to find an amount that allows your blood sugar to stay at healthy levels. You didn't mention what your blood sugar readings are right now, but you should aim for keeping your blood sugar at or under 7.5 at 2 hours after the first bite of food. If your blood sugar is already higher than that because it's not under control yet, then eat things that don't raise your blood sugar much (try to keep it from going up more than a point or so from before the meal to 2 hours later)
Keep a log of what foods you get the best results with. Eat those things more often & the things that raise your blood sugar significantly less often or not at all.
Stick around here & ask lots of questions. |
