A well balanced meal, that perhaps your Doc's Dietician has told you about and plenty of exercise.

If you notice your bs is high, exercise such as a brisk walk will definetely bring it down. It's important to pace out your carbs at the same time every day. I was told to eat 40 carbs for breakfast, lunch and dinner and two 20 carb snacks. I never realized how much I loved carbs. Doctor told me to eat more celery :(, but we have to do what we have to do to keep ourselves healthy. We don't want to go blind or get our feet or legs amputated. I've seen far too many of that. If your overweight, lose some weight.

I agree with both grannie and banjochick; Balance is the key. I struggle with that myself.

"Funny" thing about this, For breakfast, its bacon and eggs. I need the fat for the energy and the protein is necessary. And, providing that I do exercise/work hard, I will lose weight..
178 a year ago, now it is stabilized at 158..
A brisk walk is good, along with a balanced diet
Discipline is what I struggle with, every day of my life...its so easy just to sit....and rot, without any realization.

Raw veggies.......ugh.....we are not cattle.
But take these same veggies, add some cheese and apple, along with some nuts and mayo, and we have the basic "super salad"..
Or take that same celery and fill the voids with a little cheese or peanut butter, it then become delicious.
But then, the exercise is a must, the cattle are not known for exercising.

Even raw veggies have some carbs, just eat a well rounded diet, watch the portion sizes, carbs and food you should not eat like white breads, rice, pasta, potatoes.

Take your meds correctly, exercise and in time things will work out. If they continue to go up, then of course get with your doctor.

And so you also know, if you don't eat, your body will still create sugars naturally and numbers can go high, so it is important to feed the body...the organs need sugars to function

Don't laugh....but cinnamon actually helps lower blood sugar. I buy the caps and take two with eat meal....I am now off metformin!!!! And my levels are below 100!!!!! Check into it!!!!! All natural n no side affects! Good luck

Many people have used the cinnamon and there are pros and cons regarding this, and for some it doesn't work

Yes I always get a headache from cinnamon it has tannnins

Lots of good advise above. Balance those veggies w/protien, exercise, even 30 min of dancing or stretching and working with hand weights will bring the bs levels down. There's a great guide in the Resources post. I've also had good luck with cinnimon and garlic.
