carbohydrates raise BG... ALL carbs raise BG. fruit contain carbs... fruit will raise BG. Fruit juice is concentrated fruit, fruit juice is has even more sugar than fruit. fruit juice will raise BG faster than fruit. In fact fruit juice is used to treat people with low BG because it is very effective at RAISING BG
For people with T1, the ONLY treatment that works is insulin. If you are getting good numbers with using pills then you cant be T1. a BG of 113 is good numbers.
Everyone is different. I'm allowed 45 carbs per meal snack every 2hrs very few carbs. Test 1hr after meal. No fruit for breakfast or snack. No fruit juice period. That's my meal plan now yours could be different. I've found walking right after really helps bring down the levels. But carbs you have to watch even if it says sugar free.
Whole grain breads and pastas are good for you; it's just the ones made with white flour that aren't good for you.
Even if you aren't drinking a lot of juice, it's not good for you like whole fruit is. You don't have to eat a lot of fruit - just one serving/day is good enough.
What do you eat for nuts, seeds and other healthy fats?
How long have been eating this small amount of food?
How do you eat less carbs for breakfast? I can't seem to get away from bad carbs at breakfast.
things which we should all avoid and the complex carbs, such as those found in vegetables, whole grains, fruit, etc. Those are the carbs that provide dietary fiber, which is necessary for good digestive health. They aren't digested as quickly as the white versions, so they won't spike your blood sugar. Do watch portion sizes, though.
Try switching to brown rice, whole grain pasta and bread, etc.
The total amount of net carbs you eat in a day is one number to watch, and the total number of net carbs you eat all at once is another number to watch.
So lets say you limit yourself to 50 net carbs a day. (net carbs is total carbs minus fiber carbs.) A snack is sometimes suggested to be 15 net carbs. (Yum, chunk of cheese and handful of pecans!) Offhand I dont know the net carb of an apple but you can look that up and think about it.
You can still loose weight while on any Psychotropic meds. The key is exersise and food choices. You don't have to starve yourself either.
I take Protriptilyne, lamictal, Klonopin, and Lithium 900Mgs a day. This is what some would call "asking to get fat."
In 6 months I went from 230Lbs to 175Lbs and added 20 Lbs of solid muscle.
I did this with weights, supplimentation, and dumping foods that cause fat.
I even eat some fatty foods too.
Additionally, it would be better to snack on whole fruit, rather than juice. With whole fruit, you get all the fiber and vitamins; juice gives you some of the vitamins, but more calories with less nutrition. Whole fruit will fill you up more quickly than juice will.
You should not go more than a few hours without food. It sounds like your blood sugar is dropping too low.
Drink 100 percent fruit juice, which offers calories and nutritional value, rather than sugary sodas or sports drinks. Replace a serving or two of whole fruit with fruit juice, as it contains many more calories. Just remember that juice has almost no fiber, as fruit does. Add nuts to your diet, since they are high-calorie and very nutritious. Snack on them, or add them to cereal, pancakes, french toast, waffles, yogurt, salads, ice cream, fish, poultry or vegetables.
Thanks for using the forum.
Diet is very important for managing your diabetes. I am sure you know that it is very important to limit your carbs because they are what raise your blood sugar. If possible, you could consult with a dietician. They can consider what you are eating now and help you to understand what changes need to be made, while incorporating the foods you currently enjoy.
