Well I understand the words but no idea what you.lit are on about. Dr called today blood test results where 80 somthing for sugar and they say you diabetic at 40. So start with 2 M ..... somthing tablets tomorow then on to 4. see nurse of Thursday for a chat. Dr didn't say t1 or t2 so assume that's takes a while to diagnose, driving and DVLA will be issue if T1. Generaly loose weight eat healthy but don't eat carbs or sugar or alcohol.... that it?
You probably know this all since your appt with the nurse... (Just read your starting post)
80 would be you HbA1c score. Basically 12 week average measurement for amount of sugar in the blood. You need to get this score consistently below 41, so 40 or under to be non-diabetic, in remission or normal
M is Metformin tablets for your diabetes at different doses and taken at different times during the day
Don't eat carbs or sugar or alcohol. Yes. Correct.
Carbs = bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, pastries, grains, below ground veg, processed food check the label for total carbs per 100gm.
Sugar = added sugar, sugary drinks, raw sugar, honey, treacle, maple syrup, alcohol, hidden sugars in drinks or added sugars in processed foods.
Can eat everything else including fats, butter, olive oils, coconut oils. The fats will be satiating so no longer hangry!
Use smaller plates for portion control. Don't heap food onto smaller plates, that's cheating!
Exercise helps to lose weight. Eg walking more.
