My sugar levels are hypoglycemia and pre diabetes and I have Crohn’s disease flaring up too
So you’re saying you’re prediabetic but suffering low blood sugar at times? Have you spoken to your doctor and been monitoring you diet and lifestyle?
Hi, after i read theses alot about diabetes , i need somebody to resume all the info in my mind . My glucose was 113 , my Dr. Gave me med for diabetes, no way, i went for second opinion , my 2nd. Dr. Toll me to try to take it easy with sugar . Can you give some tips about all this, i have hipothyroides, ect. Ect. Thank you for your help.
If you’re eating sugar and high amounts of carbohydrates, then yes, this is a good place to start Yolanda. Carbohydrate foods make blood glucose and insulin rise more than other nutrients.
Hello mam my blood sugar level is increased also 164 ff and after 2 hour 189 pp my a1c is 7.1 what should do
Carbohydrates are the nutrient that influences blood sugar and A1C the most, so you probably need to lower your carbohydrate intake. Do you understand carbs? If not, take out free 2 week carb course.
Hi Jedha!
Thank you this was very helpful. Everything you provided I’ve already dug for and use daily to guide me in my Diabetes journey/recovery. I swear by a shake of cinnamon in my coffee each day. I try to eat power foods every day. I’ve completely changed my diet and I strive for 10,000 steps a day. I’m almost cured-I’m hoping at my next check up to be completely recovered. I took my diagnosis as a wake up call and I’ve changed my habits so that I’m so much healthier and happy.
Here is my story:
August 2015 diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes – – A1C=14.5(super high as you know, almost hospitalized). Prescribed Insulin and Metformin 3x’s a day. Fast forward to April 28, 2016 – A1C = 5.3(normal), down 35 lbs, off Insulin, down to Metformin 1x a day-diagnosed as Controlled Type 2(my liver is ok, my pancreas is producing insulin).
I’m living proof that if you put your mind to something you can achieve it! It was my goal to get off Insulin and taking only minimal amounts of Metformin. I did it! It’s hard work every day but it’s been worth every bit of hard work, exercise and healthy diet.
My motto – Breathe, Power Thru & Achieve. I didn’t do this alone-my endocrinologist was amazing and really supportive. My husband has also been extremely supportive and tries to eat as healthy as I do.
So thanks for the info you’ve provided I know it’s helpful and works!
Sincerely,
Lisa Fates
Brilliant Lisa, thanks so much for sharing!!
Do you mean diagnosed with type 2 diabetes though? Type 1 are insulin dependent because the pancreas no longer produces insulin so it sounds strange that you ‘got off insulin’??
