Thanks for your reply. I have had to cut off many of my favorite foods to avoid the diarrhea. Doctor suggests managing the blood sugar and keep it below 7. Although I don't eat sweets, I still have high sugars from everything I eat. I think trial and error is the way to go.

@nazleer I’m concerned about the number you said your Doctor wants you to keep your blood sugar under to manage it “7”. Normal blood sugar is 70 - 110 ish. Is “7” a typo? There is another test called glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C or A1C for short). It measures how your blood sugar has been over about a 3 month period. Normal people are around 5 - 6 on that test. Diabetics are doing well at 6 - 8. Is that perhaps the test you are talking about that your Doctor wants you to keep below 7?
