Dear Yeamah,

You need to do more exercises to burn up some calories since your level of sugar is still controllable.Discipline yourself on diet ,avoid refined foods and eat more whole meal as this will control the release of sugars to the blood stream.

I have found that 9 weeks of vigorous cycling, recumbent bike, indoors, 20-30 mins every day, has made my blood sugar rise. Two recent blood tests show it has gone from 6.1 to 9.4, then 9.6 most recently. I'm scared to get back on the bike since I realised it must be the exercise that's doing it. Any thoughts? JanR

Hello Yeamah,

For you to control your blood sugar,you need to eat whole grain foods in this case am referring to brown bread,brown rice,brown ugali and minimize on refined foods.Whole meal foods are rich in fibre that will greatly control the release of sugar in to the blood.

Your plate of food at all times should consist of vegetables and fruits which occupies half of the plate,the other two quaters occupy proteins and carbohydrates each.

I hope this will be able to assist you.All the best.

Always control your diet and you will be o.k. if this continues take between ten and 12 units of insulin mixtard injection two hours before you go to the bed. it works for me this way, you can give it a try.

dear Yeamah the most cause of blood sugar levels to rise or fall is diet and the drug you a using not matching. for example if you are using insulin and you take less doze and then eat, your blood sugar level will rise. another thing if you take a lot of sugary things like sweets, sugar canes, cakes and others expect you blood sugar to rise. now just take your correct dose and eat as recommended you will settle again. if you have stayed with blood sugar for some time you can rise on your dose by 2ml, but do this if you are sure of what you are doing otherwise you may increase the dose and you collapse. so the best thing to do is to take you r medicine and eat as recommended. or see you doctor
