Best to eat normally if you want it to be a lifestyle change, avoid breakfast, sweet drinks and all heavily process food.

If you skip your childhood food like white rice etc, you will build more stress, and this stress is worst than carbs you eaten.

Also not all carbs are equally bad, so many other countries eat rice but have low obesity and diabetic.

Stress will make your body to react differently and start eating more and storing more fat as result.

All complex lifeforms ie animal, human relies on beneficial bacteria aka prebiotic to help digest their food.

Most thin individuals have good amounts of beneficial bacteria found on their shait, according to medical studies.

So basically diet and exercise to control blood sugar levels?

Bought parboiled basmathi
Other than that no rice

Yeah, taking pre and pro biotics

Yeah. Lucked out if genetics are more inclined

TS, actually the bubbles from the rice is starch, if u rajin, can remove it.

Which pre & probiotics brand/product are you taking?

Diet, exercise, fasting, supplements.

Learn to do 16-8 intermittent fasting. Easiest way is to skip breakfast and to eat lunch/tea/dinner within an 8 hour window. This is assuming you don't have gastric.

Then target minimum 6k steps a day as a baseline. Then start working your way up higher and include jogging and hiking in your routine.

Food continue as per normal, just don't take added sugar for a start (i.e. zero beverages except black tea or coffee). And perhaps reduce rice/carbs protion while increasing veggies/protein on plate, by small amounts (10% to 25%)

Practice this for a couple of months. Then take more drastic measures if needed.

At some point may need to take meds or insulin too.

No. If you do proper diet, exercise, fast and supplements

Yes if you buat don't know and don't take any actions. If consistent in denial.

For now it's excelab's 12 probiotics

Doing everything for the most part, unfortunately had very bad gastric

This book is well-written in lay terms and makes perfect sense.

The keyword is "if". In Malaysia, diabetic patient discipline is severely lacking.

What's 16-8 intermittent fasting yah?

1. Watch your diet – cut sugar and carbs - probably the hardest to do.
2. Watch your weight – if you do #1 right, #2 will follow automatically - no need for 5k weekly or become gym rats. Leisure evening walk suffice.
3. Do intermittent fasting if you can (optional, but it greatly boosts your health and gut).

The MOST IMPORTANT thing is to watch what goes into your stomach first.
If that fails, whatever else you do will fail too.

I have gastric but once I practice IF, my gastric is more controlled and reduced. If I ate breakfast, my gastric comes back lulz.

Perhaps u consume too much fruit?

Exercise

Exercise a lot

Since exercise use carbs for energy, it will force all the sugar to convert to carbs, and deplete the carbs for energy.

And stress
I like sweet fruits and pasta, homemade (no sugar added) but tomatoes are sweet too

Diet and lifestyle
Diet cut carbs for your case
Lifestyle, average 5k-10k steps daily
Strength training twice a week
