If you are struggling with high blood sugar, please consider going back to basics. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain.
Start a food diary to see what food might be causing your BS to be raised and which might be making you feel just so-so.
Practice portion control.
Eat only Diabetic friendly meals.
White foods, sugar, white bread, pizza, pasta, white potatoes and so on will elevate your BS and you will feel unwell.
Slowly cut carbs.
If you don’t have kidney problems, hydrate well.
If overweight, you will need to lose.
If you are not exercising, you can start by taking short walks and then extending them, little by little.
If you constantly feel under par, you should consider making an appointment to see your Health Care Professional, as you might need a reassessment of your meds.
You need to keep your BS stabilised to stop highs and low which will lead to cumulative damage. 🤗
