Pls try to see your doctor maybe they will change your medication, that's too high
I have difficulty finding sugar free drinks especially when I am holiday. I ask for diet drinks or zero sugar drinks but this does not always happen. I have been told to drink water but this does not quench my thirst,I seam to need the feel of fizz. A list of food and drink suitable for Type 2 diabetics should be easy to find in a way you do not have to pay for it. Eating and drinking the correct foods and drinks should be available in print.
Surgar free crap is harming u and ur body. Buy a juicer and juice veggies and berries. Stick with lemon water .
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
Beverly,
For god sake, drink the diet soda you so badly covet; in fact, do it once a day or every other day. Just cut volume…

Eliminating being outdoors in the spring and summer is not an option as we do construction especially in warm weather outside.
Heat stresses me out. With stress comes higher blood sugars. I carry a jug of water and ice at all times. I drink when I am not thirsty, to flush those sugars. Look at what is stressing you, and see… read more
It is so hard for me to just drink water. Is there anything else you can drink that won't raise your blood sugar?
black ice coffee or hot coffee, skim milk, veggie juice,
(like tomato),glucerna,etc.
Hello, Everyone!
Is there anyone out here that take Gabapentin? If so, does it work for you and what dose are you taking. My doctor tried me on the 100mg 3x a day but it didn’t help me at all.
Thanks! 😘🙏🏾
Re:Gabapentin.. Usually the doses are much higher for those that find it effective. Up to 1800 mg daily in divided doses
I couldn't take any amount because it made me feel really terrible. I have… read more
What are your opinions on products stating "no sugar added", when in fact they use ulternative sugars. I feel these alternative sugars can be just as harmful to diabetics.
When I was diagnosed with diabetes type 2 back in 2013, I was told by my pharmacist and my dr not to touch the aspartame. It wasn't good for me. But they also told me because I have type 2, not to cut… read more
This is a bit of follow on to a question that @A DiabetesTeam Member asked
I will try and stick to what "science has proven" and not some of the theories out there - simply the state of what we "know" about non-sugar sweeteners
There is 3 basic groups that generally don't effect blood sugar so are "safe enough" from a Diabetes point of view
There is totally naturally sourced with minimum processing - this would include Stevia and Monk Fruit
Stevia has become quite popular - used to sweeten a… read more
I only drink water
I have consistently higher morning readings. For example, this morning it was 171 mg/dL at 8:30 am.
I hadn’t eaten or drank anything (other than water) since 6:30/7 pm the night before.
Any ideas why it’s so high?
Goodmorning
I am stuck in a rut with my late evening tv snacks i love ice cream and popcorn and cake. you would think that after 20 yrs of being a diabetic you would kinda have a better grip on these things sometimes i just dont have the willpower i need.
