Does Diet Sodas Cause Higher Fasting Glucose Levels?
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have recently experienced higher fasting glucose levels over the course of about 6 weeks. Normally, I am at 80- 120 in the mornings, but lately have been about 140- 160. The only big difference of late, I can pin point is,.. I have been drinking, maybe 1 can of diet sodas with my evening meals. I have also had sinus/ allergy issues about the same time (farmers in the locale are harvesting- kicking up dust & mold). Just trying to get a grip on whether the issue is in the sodas (as my diet has… read more

Has Anyone Been Able To Control Their Diabetes 2 Through Diet And Exercise Alone?
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

I want to know if anyone has had any long-term success with a low-carb diet for example. Is it possible to stay off medication when you have diabetes 2? Who has managed this and for how long?

Has anyone tried the low-carb high-fat diet recommended by dietdoctor.com? If I keep to 100 grams of carbs per day is that enough of a carb reduction or do I have to go much lower?

A DiabetesTeam Member

Never heard of that diet. I will have to look it up.

Hi All. Two Questions About Mealtimes And Diabetic Body.
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have heard so many people say they have to eat at specific times, (Scheduled) that it worries me. I am very likely to eat breakfast at 11 AM I if I'm not working on the day. Is it really important to be scheduled. I am not the least interested in eating in the AM, and often have no appetite at 5:00PM either but have to feed my family... 😣
Also, I have days when I will be burning hot one minute and freezing cold to the bones ten minutes later. Is this possibly related to diabetes?

A DiabetesTeam Member

Eating regularly helps regulate BS. Gives your body time to burn the carbs with keeping away lows.
