Ramzan is Starting....

[msfarooqi]

I am type II diabetic and on Trivolib 2 mg thrice a day .

Since Ramzan is starting .....please provide me some tips which will not effect my fasting.

[msfarooqi]

Yes i do test @ home.

Fbs around 180 to 200

When there is no difference or little difference between FBG and PPBG, you are likely to increase serum Triglyceride; this in turn is worst condition you can encounter.

Nil difference shows that your dosage for T2DM is quite strong / heavy.

Any advice w.r.to diet......

brother, your fbs reading is very high. please control to normal. for normal check bloodsugar101.com/

Healthy Blood Sugar Targets section.

easy method is low carb and high carb diet. reduce carb to 100 grams.

good luck to you

There is way out in your case; please provide complete Lipid profile.

farooqui sahab at these levels i would suggest to abstain from fasting,on medical grounds you can do so,better try to control your levels keep a close watch on your carb intake slowly and gradually adopt LCHF diet a lot has been discussed on this subject in this forum .

msfarooqi: Majority of diabetic patients in my circle have sugar control issues within six weeks of Ramzan, if not during Ramazan.

Eating 7-10 times a day after discovering my average BS crossed 285 (I used to take 2.5 meals a day) has helped me [I reduced carb, increased fiber and fats, doubled work out and reduced BMI to 20.5 from 24] as I now take two snacks between Dinner and Breakfast. And I achieved Average Blood sugar level < 140 in five months...I have put my diet plan on this forum twice and mailed it to 150+ members. [e-mail]
