Hi Jem,

How long have you been on D2 meds?

What are your current sugar levels now?

Some general tips for you.

>> Avoid 3 big meals. Instead take small mini meals every 2/3 hours. Take green vegetables/salad with every minimeal.

>> Consume protiens with carbs to control sugar levels.

>> Eat whole grain food/grains instead of refined grains like white bread, white rice etc

>> Avoid all forms of simple sugars/carbs like Colas, juices, sweets, cakes, biscuits, pizzas, noodles etc.

>> Eat fruits with low/medium GI index like apple, guava, strawberries, orange.

>> Do at least 30-45 mins of exercise everyday.

>> Walk for 10 mins after every meal.

>> Can help reduce sugar levels - daily intake one teaspoon of flax seeds powder,

1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder

Hope that helps.

Hi Jemtx ,

Welcome to the Healthy Eating community. I'm giving you a link to the NHS Choices information on Diabetes, as there are various link pages there that might be of interest to you:

Also, the Healthy eating pages are good too - I'll pop back with a link to those, if you'd like to have a look through.

Here's the Healthy eating pages (from NHS Choices - which this forum is linked to):
