Fix it by fasting. Do one meal a day and your readings will come down.

Have you checked your hbA1c?

That's TS time to take glucose reading..

For certain Diabetic patient, dr will ask them to control on fasting sugar. Because get stable insulin release will have good glucose control.

Are you getting normal metformin or metformin XR?

I think you're doing good.. from 11 to now..

Normally after medication, need 3-6 months. Then modify again. Get XR for whole day control, take during evening time.

Need to have some patience. Taking metformin isn't a bad thing. No need too worry about it. If the current metformin not so expensive, can direct ditch it get meformin XR.

So long your body still can produce insulin, still got hope.

If you know what food trigger your glucose, try to reduce the portion or number of intake.

Lose weight

intentionally take pasta, sugar and dried fruit somemoar

Some people are in denial.

agree on that, my family has diabetes history, I always find time to exercise on weekends and the only carb i eat is rice and bread in the morning. Sometimes I hv low blood sugar til I have cold sweat so I have to eat a little sweet stuff like half stick of dark chocolate kitkat. When I see TS wrote he eats cake, walao that thing I didnt touch for ages carb + lot of sugar, how is it not trigger his blood spike, which natural sugar and carb doesnt trigger glucose spike, I think his doctor either orang gila run away from tanjung rambutan pretend to be doctor or he is just apprentice doctor say stupid things to patient
I remember he mentioned he is overweight but I dun specifically know his exact weight

aren't you basically trying to figure out the GI level of each "carb" food you are eating?

plus your "experiment" is too adhoc..

I believe no one is judging you.

Everyone is using this forum as a platform to post and discuss their thoughts, ideas, and solutions on the topic you had raised up.

DR. VERNER WHEELOCK said, "If I had a flood in my house . . .I would not spend day after day, week after week, & year after year buying buckets, mops and towels. I would not be inventing different types of buckets and more expensive mops or drainage systems to ensure the water drained away quickly. I would find the source of the water and turn it off!"

TS kena type berapa diabetes?

Try la formula FMD ni

my father had T2 (passed on in 2011) ,my mom has dimentia,  so sked abt family history and in 2023 I had enough, i was 143KG at peak in early 2023, today is 88KG since mid 2024. and maintaining it. blood glucose 3 hours after breakfast was 4.5

much easier to move around and no panting and sakit paha when getting up.

the thing I do is cut out carbs/sugar, basically a lifestyle change.

Swap it for sweet potatoes, parboiled rice or really brown rice. Or skip totally.

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?

Which pre & probiotics brand/product are you taking?

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.

Perhaps u consume too much fruit?

Congratulations. Now on metformin only? Which type of metformin?

That's a drastic weight loss. Any slack & your weight will probably balloon back, maybe higher than original.

Pre and pro biotics..

What brand?

I'm taking 1 now for the past 1 month..
My weight loss 4 to 5kg already.
Culprit.. Maybe those antibiotics that I took for my tonsillitis issue.

Apple and Oranges or even Pear will also spike the sugar level?
