70 is dangerously low! My aunt is diabetic and she said she eats a piece of bread to prevent a huge spike. Just to bring your sugar up at an even pace. I have it too and my first appt. For it tomorrow
It sure is low^^^ those numbers make sure u tell doc that
No.. I just found out Saturday. I don't see my dietation until next Tuesday.. my mom in law is a diabetic so she checked me Sunday twice it was 79 at 1pm then 67 at 730pm.. she said it was way to low. Idk I'm just confused..
That sounds about right but your dietician will go over the exact amount of carbs you can intake with each meal. In my case, I'm required to eat a total of 180 carbs a day/30 carbs each feeding (eat up to 6x a day-breakfast, lunch, dinner with snacks after each). I have to check my sugar before my first meal and then every two hours after breakfast, lunch and dinner. I mainly drink water (all day) and milk (breakfast/lunch only). You can still eat what you like BUT it's definitely about portion control. For example, I can only indulge on 10 peanuts for my fats, lol. You will also learn that your sugar should remain in between or under a specific number reading with every finger prick. I hope this helps a little. Good luck to you, mama! :)
I have it too and the diet my nutritionist put me on was 15g of carbs for breakfast. Then lunch and dinner between 50-60g. 2-3 snacks per day. No juices or milk. Lots and lots of water. Proteins are great (I'm vegetarian so this was a little harder to stay full) and no more sugary delicious food haha. Plus 20-30 minutes of exercise per day. Then check ur sugar levels when you wake up, then 1 hr after every meal (not snacks). My glucose levels stay perfect as long as I don't cheat. But if I go over my carb count it shows!
I have yet to see to dietation for this. I'm super confused... I read 15g a meal/snack but dinner is 30g?
