Carbs raise BG so restricting carbs will help BG.
when you say 6 units I assume you mean 6 exchanges which is 90 gr of carbs. If you take 250 mg at each meal that is 750 mg a day, the limit is 2400mg a day so you have room to go up on the Met.
It can take 6 to 8 weeks for met to become fully effective.
I'm not allowed to eat beans as they r too high in carbs :/ I would love to eat beans lol. Popcorn spikes my sugar belive it or not, ***** cuz I love it. I also have to be careful of the carbs in nuts! And I'm only 24 weeks and dr says its going to keep getting worse til I have the baby.
I have no clue what im having...
I get those dried beans, you can get what kind you like, I use a combo of pintos, black beans, lima beans, navy beans, red beans, black eyed peas, they are full of protein and no fat. When you buy the canned refried beans, those are cooked in LARD and are full of fat and sodium. You rinse the the dried beans through a colander and soak them in water over night. Then you cook them on the stove top for about two hours, adding water if necessary.
I eat veggies and fruits. I'm a Type 1 Diabetic and need to lose some weight. My doctor says I don't get enough protein in my diet to lose weight. I'm not a big fan of beans. What is a good source of protein for my case?
Check out everything. Even beans. Yes some people have a very large and long lasting spike on beans, even though books suggest it as a good choice.
Supplements can help some people. If you want to go in that direction consider things like chromium, they help some people control BG. But check with your doctor, especially if you are on medications.

And despite my efforts they still sky rocket after I eat.
You can have iron rich foods like liver, lean red meats, beans like kidney, lima, navy, black, pinto, soy beans, and lentils, iron fortified whole grains, green vegetables like spinach, tofu, broccoli, swiss chard, asparagus, parsley, chicken, nuts, egg yolk and dry fruits.
Non vegetarian diet is rich in vitamin B 12 and should be taken regularly. In addition, eat lots of fruits and vegetables especially green leafy vegetables. They are a rich source of folic acid.
Hello,
If you are low in iron contents then you may be having iron deficiency anemia. You can have iron rich foods like liver, lean red meats, beans like kidney, lima, navy, black, pinto, soy beans, and lentils, iron fortified whole grains, green vegetables like spinach, tofu, broccoli, swiss chard, asparagus, parsley, chicken, nuts, egg yolk and dry fruits.
You can also have iron supplements along with these foods.
Consume more complex carbohydrates, such as brown rice, brown pasta and whole wheat bread, one to two weeks before you begin your training program. Complex carbs contain energy in the form of glucose, which will provide your muscles with the necessary fuel before you begin training. Complex carbs contain essential nutrients and minerals that will help your body develop after working out. A slice of wheat bread, or one half cup of white or brown rice, is a serving of complex carbs.
t have to cut out all carbs. You can still include complex carbs like nuts, legumes, beans, oats(steel cut are best). Have a look at the Glycemic Index Charts. The lower the better. Balance these complex carbs with proteins such as fish, and lean skinless chicken breast, good fats like extra virgin olive oil, and green veggies. These are just rough ideas. The doctor will put together what's best for you. But the basic rules are, eat healthy, and get active! Keep us posted.
From what you have stated, you are appropriately 30lbs overweight. You did not state your age so I am not sure how many calories you need a day. If you want to lose weight, it is done by eating healthy and exercise. You need to do is increase your physical activities to 1/2 hour or more a day. That 1/2-hour or more can be broken up through the day, 10 minutes here and 20 minutes there. For example, park your car in the back of the parking lot and walk to the store.
Salmon oil is also a good additive to put in their food. For carbs, (cooked) potatoes and both brown and white rice -are all okay for dogs. So is wholemeal pasta. But not too many carbs.
And you may need a food supplement tablet recommended for dogs to give daily.
No bones. Remove bones. Use lean meats, don't let them eat meat fat or fatty skin.
Some oils are essential for dogs in the correct amount daily, but not fatty foods.
Eating more protein and fewer simple carbs are good. White beans, such as white kidney beans, chicpeas, aduzi beans, and other beans are good because they're high in protein and also in fibers that help control blood sugar and cholesterol. That's a start. To get more complete, try to find a holistic nutritionist.
