Rrk74 kena diabetes? What what now? Just cut down on all sugary drinks and foods la. Eat more vegetables. Fruits a bit as those have sugar too. Carbs also cut down, eat more lean meat.
*
Don't drink at all,
No more coffee/tea/cola/beer etc etc. Haven't drink sweet drinks more than a year

Veggies are always part of menu.
Most likely the grapes I've been binging on + carbs/pasta/noodles/breads

curious to know this as well ..

Same2 ni difference

QUOTE(Wedchar2912 @ Jan 10 2025, 01:13 PM)
whats your blood sugar level?

usual advice... cut out completely rice and sugar, and you can still eat everything else (add vege to replace the bulk of rice) pretty much for the time being.

fruits should be fine if you keep the same portion and don't go load up on high sugar fruits.

Tested was 11

Get this if u need sweet drinks. Have been using this for years already if I need to sweeten my coffee and tea. Can't remember when was the last time I bought sugar.

Beware, u need only a very very small amount to sweet it. Don't like me when first time use, accidentally put too much and almost puke out due to tooooooo sweet.

Thanks!
Again, I don't drink sugary stuff
Maybe once a few months?

QUOTE(zerorating @ Jan 10 2025, 01:44 PM)
start prolonged fast now before its too late.
eliminate all those viseral fat come first.
you will get sugar spike in the morning with fasting , but it was meant to be as those fat converted glucose will be transfer to the bloodstream first before it got burned by the body cells
*
Yeah.... Planning to do intermittent
Join the mussies during fasting too, but not their indulgence in food intake

QUOTE(cheesey @ Jan 10 2025, 01:50 PM)
Go find kelab diabetes in fb. There 100% you can control ur bg.

Not all fruit can take,look for berries family.
No potato's or underground plant.
Most tropical fruits can spike ur bg.
Cut carbo if u can, limit it.
No bread no metter grain or non grain bread.
Option for flour use coconut flour or almond flour.
Ketchup, souces can spike ur sugar too.

If ur renal is good, protien is ur fren.
Don't eat after 7am let your body rest
Iitimetent fasting good too, but no such food I mention above.
*
Yup, figures no carbs much anymore
Renal is gud,

QUOTE(Boomwick @ Jan 10 2025, 01:50 PM)
Take it with statin will be better.. helps lower down inflammation and help metabolic and burn down your sugar..

Ask ur doctor first if it will be good to supplement with it

Type2 diabetes usually combo package with cholesterol
*
Was given atorvarstatin which is just statin

No need to stress, stress can bring your bg high also. It won't kill you in 1 or 2 yera, if you control you can life longer like other healthy person. Just don't late take action. If you late all ur organ also will rosak slowly due to uncontrolled bs.

11 is random. Or hba1c? If hba1c work hard to get it to normal range.
*
Hba1c
Hopefully it was due to overall stress
Tested it during year end

Still browsing through blood glucose monitors

Find cheap one, the strip cheap also can. Sinnocare also good. The strip cheap look at shopee no need high end. All reading won't same if u check, but that what your range. Hba1c check accurate.

If you want control I suggest u record what you eat, then after 2 hour check your glucose. If high that food is no no.and monitor how much or portion suitable. You need find this yourself.

Sinocare OK? Read that it's readings swings up an down

Start exercising. Start with 2000 steps a day. what diet also can't help you now cause u won't have self control

Already doing 5-8k per day


QUOTE(arkasi @ Jan 10 2025, 03:08 PM)
Ts, also don't drink vitamin c soluble. I used.to drink 2 cups a day & it contribute to sugar level & Doctor confirmed. Dumb I know but thought that sugar level was very low &  was actually more concerned about sodium level contents.

I did check ingredients but really couldn't find on sugar level so assumed it would be very low. I seldom drink soft drinks so I immediately suspected that vitamin c was the culprit when got my test results
*
I take normal ones will look back the sugar contents

QUOTE(arkasi @ Jan 10 2025, 03:16 PM)
Also try drinking misai kucing tea. I am currently taking gbt brand & it really helped in reducing my hpa1c level.

I drank 1 cup a day for about 3 weeks and took a non fasting test at health Lane. Dropped from 6.7 to 6.0 & now I am taking 2 cups a day which is the max u can drink per day.

U can also try taking biogrow oat bg22. It's more for reducing cholesterol but also does reduce blood glucose.
*
Got link?
Not into oats
How much at healthlane?

Take chicken chop, steak, whole fish if you feel weak

Take a walk after meal

Oh yeah, sorry ts forgot to mention that biogrow bg22 oats is in powder form per sachet. It's not quacker oats type of cereal.

Take one sachet mix with half cup of water right before each meal.

First few times, best to take it on your off days just in case cause purging until use to it.

Yours is type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 can be reversed through low carb / keto diet.
Cut carbs and sugar.

I never had diabetes but I am on low carb diet for 5 years already.
Lost 25kgs and I am now lighter and fitter than when I was younger.
I also do cardio and strength training 2 times every 3 days.

I don't eat bread, rice, noodles, pasta, pizza, basically anything that is high carb.
I also avoid ultra processed foods.
I eat fruits but avoid fruits like grapes, durian that is high in sugar content.
Guava and avocado is low in sugar content.
*
Yeah trying to decrease it

i was diagnosed with diabeetus (intensifies) too... about 3 years ago... i think partly because my family is genetically prone to it... plus mostly - I am couch potato..
user posted image
I have since changed my diet - quite drastically...

I will avoid carbs as much as I can.... ie: no frank carbs like rice, noodle, bread, potatoes...
and I also avoid sugary drinks... now my 'favorite' drink is black coffee (with a few tablets of Equal)

my blood glucose is now well controlled... and I lost 15kg....

What I eat daily is eggs (fried, boiled)... veges (i like long beans and terung)... some fried Tempe...

also - watch this... ALL OF IT.

Yesterday checked got 6.8
Had one slice of durian. Kek

can try taking Magnesium Glycinate ( 410 ~420 mg for adult male) supplement daily for sleep & relaxation, it can help with blood sugar regulation too.

Exercise as in weight resistance training, build up muscle mass to help body absorb glucose more effectively which can improve blood sugar level after eating

strength training can help reverse insulin resistance.

Yeahhh I've been taking this for sleep actually
Stopped taking it then felt like shiat
So will start back

Hello TS, may I know 11 is hbA1c or Blood Glucose? Dr prescribed oral is metformin only or combination?

11 is quite high but I doubt Dr will give single medication only, as usual start from control with medication + lifestyle modifications. If you're affordable can get Abbott arm patch glucose meter, now got buy 1 free 1. You can check your glucose from time to time, pre or post meal. Then you will know which type of food triggers your blood glucose.

So long you not yet insulin resistance, its still reversible. Ask your Dr what's the target goal for your blood glucose / hbA1c after 3 months.
*
Both, metformin and statin
Too poor
