To control blood sugar you will need to control the types and amounts of carbohydrate eaten. Definitely you will need to avoid sugar and sugary and very starchy foods. All meals should have protein, fat, and some carbs (preferably complex carbs which digest slowly). You will also need to control how much you eat, and it will be much better to have small meals and a few healthy snacks. Fruit juice, sweetened drinks and sodas should be avoided.

How do you eat less carbs for breakfast? I can't seem to get away from bad carbs at breakfast.

I have that problem also and it took me a while to figure it out. When I eat mexican or chinese food those carbs take a long time to get in your blood. So the insulin was getting in my blood before the carbs and caused me lows. Then I would eat something or drink juice and later on my sugar would be high because of those slow carbs that finally made it to my blood. What I do know is take some insulin and 2 hours later take some more.

I am trying to eat less carbs but i need to do this right i do not know how many carbs i should require for the day? How do i find out what is right for me?

Don't beat yourself up too badly over it, I'm in the same boat as you... I don't really overeat, and the things that I do eat, I think out and try to make healthy meals, but I still ended up with gestational diabetes. Unfortunately, it's just something that happens because of all of the weird things that happen in pregnancy. I've learned to just go with it... That being said, I was advised to count how many grams of carbs that I take in and what foods contain them.

Don't drink to much soda maby a can a day depends how far you are. Don't eat sea food raw stuff like sushi ummm no cold meats if you make a sandwich warm up the meat in the microwave don't drink to many teas I wouldn't risk anything like tht cus some teas couse early labor. You can eat tuna like once every 2weeks.

I was wondering where the best place for me would be to find a complete list of medicines I should stay away from with Long QT syndrome. I have a list but it is over 5 years old, and I am in need of a new one! Thank You!

To add to Super_sally's comments go to this link for an understanding of Glycemic Index. Foods that are high on the GI raise glucose levels. http://diabetes.webmd.com/glycemic-index-good-versus-bad-carbs Careful on the candy, everyone is different. For me, as a type 2, one piece would jack my glucose levels way up. I just avoid anything sugar.

s a complex carb, a simple sugar, or fruit, you are feeding the yeast in your body. To keep it under control you need to limit sugar intake and make sure you are feeding the good flora in your body (probiotic).

Do you mean Ashwaganda? I didn't realize you had specific supplement in mind. If you know the brand name of the supplement all you have to do is Google it to get the ingredient list then we'll be able to give you better information.

Your sugar levels are highest in the morning so u want to avoid anything high in sugar or carbs for breakfast. Try eating smaller portions rather than few larger meals.

I was given a list of drugs to review and stop taking any that I may be on for 10 days before procedure. I am having trouble determining whether my migraine medication, Imitrex, is one them. Sumitriptan and naproxen are not on the list, but since this drug narrows blood vessels, I wonder if it's best not to take it before surgery.

The high cholesterol can also be related to high sugar / carbs diet, and may be helped if you can reduce the carbs and make the other lifestyle changes. Please coordinate with your doctor as well for your personal medical care.

Something extremely important to remember with a PET scan is to avoid all carbohydrates (including fruit, veggies like carrots, etc) before your test. If you eat carbs, you stand a very good chance of have a false "negative" .. carbs sort of hide the cancer. You want an accurate reading.

Again, folks, carbs are the biggest category of foods we need to be eating for health and energy. So when you say no carbs, do you mean no vegetables? They're carbs. Do you mean no complex carbs? Where are you going to get your energy from? So describe your diet in more detail, maybe someone can help you better then.

Changing lifestyle habits can go a long way in controlling type 2 diabetes. Restrict & avoid refined sugars, practice and adhere to weight control, do some sort of exercise daily, practice stress management, and get adequate sleep. These are all important in managing diabetes, the most important, along with proper nutrition, is daily physical activity. Besides watching sugar in your diet-- you also need to watch carbohydrates [starches] carefully too.

Hello, you may also want to test before eating to see if your blood sugars go down eventually. Are you overweight? if so, losing weight may help, as will daily exercise. Try reducing carbs (you eat less carbs, but more protein and unprocessed fats). You can experimeint to see if this is enough to get your sugarss down. learn to 'eat to your meter'. ie. find what foods don't make you high and then make these a main part of your diet.

d, I was using soy/tofu as a good source of protein and calcium, besides trying to limit the amount of meat in my diet. (I would love to be able to go on a Vegan Gluten Free Diet as it lowers cholesterol among other healthful benefits. But, I am finding it soooooo hard to totally give up meat - mostly chicken and fish.) Fortunately, I love fruits, vegetables, beans and nuts.

Thank you so much. Super useful information!. I will try to eat more vegetables as carbohydrate source instead of rice, pasta, etc. Concerning fruits, I do eat a lot of fruits, maybe I would want to cut fruit intake. You mentioned you eat 50 - 70 g of carbs per day. How do you measure the carbs?

I believe that carbohydrates are an unnatural food source for humans. We were intended to eat meats, eggs, vegetables, nuts and berries. Carbs should be a rare, seasonal treat; things like honey, and fruits. Instead we literally bathe ourselves in carbs. take for instance a tall glass of natural orange juice. How many oranges go into that glass; 6, 8, possibly more. It's too much of a good thing. I could go on and on.....

My sister in law had a borderline and she was told to avoid bad carbs too. Avoid excess sugar and white breads etc. She went full term and had no complications. Her baby was 9 lbs 10 ounces though so he might have got avoid little big but then again he could have just been a big baby. He was just fine when born too.
