Controlling Blood Sugar

Lowering your carbohydrates at any age is good for your health, so why wait until you are already pre diabetic or worse yet, a full diabetic. Too many carbohydrates overwork your system and is the leading cause of diabetes with all it's health complications.

Learn what low-glycemic foods are and start eating a well balanced diet. Stay away from sugar
laden processed foods as much as possible and also avoid sweet drinks. Anything that is made with whole grains and low fat should be ok if eaten in moderation.

Get your exercise, take your vitamins, drink plenty of water, and learn to control your stress. You will be healthier and much happier in the long run.

Testing Blood Sugar

Blood sugar should be kept as close as possible to normal. You will need to test several times a day to see how your eating habits are effecting it.

Learn how your activities are changing your test results. Look for patterns and discuss them with your doctor.

Test more often when you are sick.

Typical test results are 90 - 130 mg/dl before a meal and less than 180 mg/dl 1 to 2 hours after a meal. If it goes higher than that you should see your doctor.
