Do you know what glycemic index is for certain foods? Get on the web and follow that guide. Although there can be conflicting information, I benefit from what I learn by studying the latest information. Meds alone are not the total remedy for diabetes. And each person is different, but altering your diet and enjoying what you eat can bring good rewards, I believe. Also check out your meds to see if any of them cause a rise in blood levels. Have you had your thyroid level checked? Are you active? Can you lose weight? That is a tough one for most of us, I know. Stay away from fast food and junk food. It is no longer your friend.

Thank u, i will look into your advise. This all started 19 yrs ago when my thyorid blew up..They killed my thyorid with a pill.Then for 12 yrs i suffered on the genertic meds, the meds would not keep my tsh leveled in one place .I could go fron1.9 and then in two weeks i would be 9.10...9 yrs ago i found a doctor that put me on Tirosint meds, I have been Great for 9 yrs now. Diabetes .started after my thyorid issues....I have never been over weight, It does not run in my family.I love to swim, but hard now with this virus..Wish i had a pool in my home..I use to walk with my little dog everyday, but she went to be with God 2yrs ago. I read several books I read , u r more likely to develop diabetes if u have high Triglycerides, looking back on medial records in my late 30,s and 40,s my Triglycerides wete always very high, My doctor never once mentioned any concern, Sad..
