If you are feeling weak you might like to discuss your meds with your doctor. If your carbohydrate intake has fallen from what you usually eat, then taking the same amount of meds can make your blood sugar fall below optimum. Diet doc advises here:
Initially when i joined forum i tried LWMDR for more than 6 months but my pp was always 180+. monitoring daily BF has shown improvement , and HbA1c after 3 months 5.9 and 6.6 after another 3 months i didn't go for HbA1c test before starting LWMDR. Meanwhile i learnt through forum that crbs are main cause of DM2 the intake of carb be kept under 100gm per day which was not possible under LWMDR diet twice in a day with normal food in lunch thus my consumption of carb was more than 100gms per day .
I started counting carb and kept it under 300kcal of my energy need . which has shown normal levels of BS.
Hi,Thanks i m trying to keep carb 50-60 on the basis of 2o% energy need my energy need in 1500kcal as I m an inactive person not able to walk due to Osteoarthritis . please suggest fat containing foods. TG is 162 within normal range . Test is done at Thyrocare lab. Need more comments on blood test .
As for weakness it seems that your protein intake is too low. This means that if you do not eat enough calories from healthy fat, your muscle will be broken to produce glucose (Gluconeogenesis).
Gluconeogenesis (GNG) is a metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose from certain *non-carbohydrate* carbon substrates - basically muscle.
You probably need to increase your protein intake. Eggs are really good as it is complete protein. If you can another egg to your morning omlett and add two boiled eggs for dinner or lunch, it will certainly make a difference.
You may also consider adding some healthy fat which is the most affordable to you: coconut oil, olive oil or even butter.
You may consider adding some energizing supplement from an ayurvedic expert (supplements should not increase your carb intake.
Do you use any traditional glocose regulators (e.g. Tusli tea, ashwaganda, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, garlic and the like)?
Thanks Indiacratus I had discussed with doctor about nafl on couple of occasion he advised for walking but i cold not walk long distance and requested for medicine but he didn't .
By reading many post i started diet referred in my post
Thanks. A sedentary person with a weight of about 75 kg needs 50-70 gr of real protein. This doesn't mean 70 gr of eggs/meat/chicken rather because raw ingredients contain water, fat, fiber, etc. So in order to get 50 gr of protein one needs to eat roughly 4 x 50 = 250 gr of eggs (5 eggs/day), or a combination ofother protein sources.
Eggs are really one of the best proteins. Egg becomes a complete chick so it has in it all the protein needed to build all sorts of tissue.
I personally have a special omellett with spinach/chard and eggs, with garlic and cayenne pepper, and I occasionally add brocolli (50 gr) and half a tomato (50 gr). It taste great and never rises blood sugars., according to my experience:).
It were me, i would choose the proteins that are affordable because they are quite similar. I find eggs as a good alternative but this varies by country.
As for supplements, i would go for whey protein or hampseed protein. I have heard good things about hempseeds, but again the economical aspect is an important criteria, especially that diabetic have suchhigh costs already.
Regarding Cholesterol, i alsoprefer to use whole foods that reduces LDL choleterol naturally and increases HDL naturally.
