If you eat junk food, such as chips, cookies, candy, etc, you should exchange them for veggies, fruit cheese, yogurt, low fat dairy, nuts, seeds, etc. Opt for plenty of protein and complex carbs and limit simple carbs, such as those found in sugary foods, products made from white flour, white rice, regular pasta etc. Opt for whole grain breads and pastas, sweet potatoes, etc. Exchange sodas and fruit juices for water or other unsweetened beverages. Try Stevia instead of sugar.
3% and the doctor told me I had reversed my diabetes in that my numbers were those of a non-diabetic .
However, if he is exercising, then he can get away with eating something like a whole fruit right before exercising (depending on his glucose level) beforehand and the cardio exercise will even it out. There is a Diabetic Exchange Diet that is in books where they assign you certain amount of meat, bread amounts that you can have at each meal - or trade off a lean meat for a little more fat, etc. so you don't have to count calories.

Hi! I was just diagnosed in Oct/2014. I have just recently figured out my ideal diet and my bg is staying under 100. I found out it is different for each person. You have to learn by trial and error, unfortunately. A good book to read is Diabetes for Dummies. And a must-have is the Official Pocket Guide to Diabetic Exchanges. Good luck and we're all here for support!

It is very difficult to know anything based on what you posted.
First, lab ranges even for the different labs in the US differ so without ranges - have no idea if you are low, high or normal.
Second - no idea if you are sick or how you are sick. The tests run are not really run for adrenal except DHEA (and that is really more of an adrogen - e.g. it converts to testosterone and estrogen) so not sure why it belongs in this forum.

I have been told I'm am pre-diabetic but type 2 diabetes is written in my health records. I just got a new meter (OneTiych). My previous readings with the "Freestyle " meter were no higher than 110. Most readings stayed in the 90's.
That means a cause is not found. It is more common in smokers, high blood pressure, diabetic, and farsighted people.
Glad the doctor prescribed Calcium... but she needs the magnesium in order to absorb the calcium properly. And it should be taken separately - at a different time of day with a meal. For example, she could take the calcium at supper time (best because women absorb vitamins better at this time) and the Magnesium with breakfast. D3 is also so important to build bones - I was found deficient in D3.
So glad that things are going better for you. Give your wife a hug from me...
