Your problem is the food. Rice is plenty of starch which is bad for diabetics, just like cassava and yam. Nigerian food is mostly oily and rich. Cut them all out or reduce drastically. You have not mentioned what exercises you engage in to burn your sugar. You must exercise at least 40 minutes a day, even briskly.
