Diabetic Question!!!!!?

You haven't established a diagnosis of diabetes yet. I would do that first. Was your blood sugar 186 when you were fasting? If so, yes, that is high. However, if you had eaten a few hours earlier, etc then obviously that result means nothing.

You need to get a diagnosis first. Diabetes is not something you can manage w/o a doctor. If you do have it, they will figure out what type (1 or 2) and give you a management plan.

Check out South Beach phase 2 or Atkins phase 4 food plans. Some of the foods your grandma listed will send me over the moon such as the cottage cheese and banana!!

You must do some very careful reading and shopping.

But before that, GET THEE TO THE DOCTOR ASAP!!! Your grandma nor I want you to have to deal with things like nerve endings in your feet giving you he**, or your eyes going all to he**!! High glucose numbers do a thing to the tiny blood vessels and nerve endings first.

For breakfast I eat bacon and eggs and a slice of Oat Nut toast with butter!

For lunch usually a chef salad, different dressing every day to keep it interesting.

For dinner we have a small piece of meat cooked anyway I feel like cooking it, a salad, and sometimes fruit.

For bedtime snack I have half cup of real ice cream!!

But do check out the South Beach food plan. I have lived with it for the past 12 years!!

Try diabetes.org they have alot of info. Also go see your doctor for a a1c reading, that is your bllod sugar level over the past three months. Your 186 could be ok if she tested after you ate a meal. But your A1C will really see where your blood/sugar levels are at

Go to your doctor to see if you are truly diabetic. Until then cut down on sugary snacks and food. I drink water and unsweetened ice tea. Both will not affect your blood sugar.

When I had gestational diabetes one of my favorite snacks was peanut butter and whole grain toast. Best advice I can give is to eat healthy and cut down on carbs and other sugar and see your doctor.
