Lower your carb intake, and that will bring your sugars down, and you’ll feel better. When I was first diagnosed, the nutritionist told me to eat between 200-250 carbs per day. I found I couldn’t eat that many and had to lower it to fit my sugars.

How come you don’t want to take it?! Either way, I didn’t take it with my 2nd child. Nothing bad happened. Its your body, and I believe you have the right not to take it. I could be wrong, since your pregnant, but thats my thoughts.

I am a 64 yo Caucasian male. I understand ones glucose level will naturally increase after a meal. My question asks how long after a meal will glucose level spike to highest point. This may well vary in individuals, but what is considered the general, or accepted, time in minutes or hours when one would normally show highest blood glucose level via meter?
Thank you for considering my question and thank you all for any answers!

Answer by Kathie Emmanuelite
In general two hours, but that also depends on what you eat. If it’s high glycemic, like pure sugar, pasta, chips, juice, it could spike right away. If its a complex carb like wheat bread it won’t spike as much. It also depends on whether you eat protein with it, protein will slow down and steady the rise in blood sugars.

This is the American Heart Association website- this section gives healthy diet instruction and other lifestyle changes that help with both blood pressure and heart disease.

The AHA cookbook is very good, by the way, with lots of tasty recipes that are good for you. It even involves sweets.

Question by john00world: What’s the best diet for a diabetic person with a blood type 0+?
l have a friend from and lives in Africa; he is of blood type 0+ ,and is diabetic;he would like to know what’s the best diet to follow while living in Arica?

Answer by john e russo md facm faafp
Although there is a book that states that a person’s blood type should dictate their diet – and although this book has made quite a bit of money – it is absolute nonsense. A person’s blood type has nothing to do with the type of diet that they should consume whether they are a diabetic diet or not. The best diet for a diabetic has been muddled quite a bit by of all people the American Diabetes Association. They have changed their recommended diet many times over my 30 years in medicine because there is no ‘special’ diet that a diabetic requires. A diabetic should eat the same diet that would be recommended for virtually anyone – and it is a diet that in urban areas is rarely followed. The diet would be one rich in fresh fruits in vegetables, minimizing processed foods, salt, fats, cholesterol, and sugar (glucose). The latter is a bit complicated as ‘sugar’ is a vague term comprising a varied group of carbohydrates all of which have a different ‘glycemic index’. The higher the glycemic index the more likely that the carbohydrate in the food will end up as glucose as opposed to another substance. Depending upon where in Africa this person is living they may find that the diet is one of fresh fruits and vegetables with a minimal amount of processed food. Salt is easily avoided and fats and high cholesterol food is less common in Africa than in the United States. So far as glycemic index is concerned I do not know that I would worry much about this as from your question I gather that your friend is living in Africa temporarily. If they are planning on living in Africa long-term then I would suggest that they type ‘glycemic index’ into a search engine on the internet for advice. On of the most important issues for a diabetic is to maintain a ‘lean’ body weight. A person’s body mass index should be less than 25 kg/M2 if they are 25 years old or older. If you type ‘body mass index’ into a search engine you will find many sites that will calculate your body mass index for you if you input your height and weight. The 25 kg/M2 referenced above may not apply for those less than age 25 – the goal for body mass index is more difficult to establish for these individuals. I wish you and your friend the very best of health and may God Bless.
