Hey everyone, which seeds are best for lowering blood glucose? I have been told pumpkin seeds are.
 
I have been doing so well but I had a real wobble today.

I was exhausted, head was spinning, had pains in both arms and a pain in the stomach. Any suggestions?

I don't think seeds as such lower blood glucose but they are good low carb additions to yoghurt, salads, etc.

It could be just a bit of a reaction to reduced blood glucose by carb reduction, the body has to get used to lower levels. Otherwise could you be getting a cold, flu or similar.

Thanks, much appreciated. It's a minefield. I'm lucky though, I have a great support group, my son in law is a GP (The entire NHS staff are amazing) a very good friend who gives me great support and now Diabetes.org.uk which is excellent. Thank you for the advice x
 
Sorry @Jim999 but there are no foods which reduce blood glucose.
You can, by reducing the amount of carbohydrate eaten in a day, reduce the strain on the metabolism trying to cope with it, and if an ordinary sort of type 2 can return to normal numbers, lose weight and even achieve remission, but it is more by intervals of not eating and being careful of choices for meals.

Glad to hear you’ve been doing well Jim, but sorry you’ve had a bit of a turn.

Hopefully is has passed, and you are feeling right as rain now. How have you been over the past few days?
