What is your husband's blood sugar before a meal/snack? Has his doctor said anything about counting carbs. for each meal and/or snack? Do they recommend a low carb. high fat or low carb. high protein diet? What does he usually eat during the day and/or evening? Is he on medications? Did the doctor put him on insulin with medication? Does the doctor have him on an exercise/modified diet plan?

Hi,

New to DI, welcome.

Many members are going to ask you questions! why? to help you.

what is important is diet control and regular exercise to help with blood glucose.

Before looking at medication look at weight and height. Height to waist ration is important.

There are many Asian over ground veg can help as well as Methi laves,

cinnamon and other Asian species in cooking.

Looking out for hidden and free sugar in food and drinks as well as portion control in very important from my experience. Please get a small dish for food.

Take care.

You are not diabetic Take precautions not to eat sugar cakes ice creams Eat less quantity of chapatis and rice Go for a walk half hour and do yoga

Your husband is not diabetic. Let him have his normal life with 30 minutes walk. Yearly check up is sufficient.
