Increase in FBS

Hi All,

I've observed for the past few weeks/months that my FBS increases (115-125 mg/dL) when I have small carbs(like 1 date fruit) before I go to bed in the night. I've been having one date fruit daily to counter Dawn Phenomenon so far.

When I stopped having the date fruit before I go to bed in the night , my FBS comes back to my usual level 100-115 mg/dL.

What do you guys think? Is my T2D condition getting better or worse?

Eating sugary fruit in the evening is not good for T2 propel. You can eat date fruit after breakfast or after lunch. It is best to have simple meals in the evening.

Hi,

While I was looking for a video clip from a Tamil Doctor in Tamil Nadu, I found the link below on date fruits. Please have a look.

sandybrown ,Thanks for the article link.

I have tested with having 6-7 date fruit in one serving and found that my PPBS ranges around 130 mg/dL.

Good idea soni1 . But its practically not possible as I cannot sleep earlier than 10 PM and I feel hungry when I go to bed.

You and I can understand Baranix but the body wont understand. Try following for 21 days, follow a pattern of eating at 10am in the mornijg and 6pm in the evening. Train your body, it will do lot of favours, just stick to 2 meals a day and reap all benefits.

Please Google Dr Pal, A Tamil Nadu doctor working in USA, there are many video clips in English, on how much to eat, what to eat and eating times to help with type 2.

"Dates may be an enjoyable and safe treat for many people with diabetes and prediabetes. The fruit consists of a low GI, meaning it does not cause significant blood sugar spikes when people eat it in moderation."(1)"If you have diabetes, aim to eat no more than 1 or 2 dates at a time. Eating them alongside a source of protein — such as a handful of nuts — also allows its carbs to be digested a bit more slowly, further helping prevent blood sugar spikes."(2)
