You're welcome, Crystalann. Sugar comes in different varieties other than refined table sugar, or in your case, coffeemate. Google simple carbs vs complex carbs. Simple carbs are digested easily thus their sugars enter the bloodstream more quickly resulting in your glucose levels being jacked up. White foods are considered simple carbs; white flour, white bread, crackers, potatoes, pasta, and milk. Also, read the ingredient label carefully on packaged foods. Sugars listed under carbohydrates are in grams. Every 7 grams equals one heaping Tablespoon of refined sugar.
thanks wave rider! the funny thing is a started dieting a month ago, only sugar i take in is in my coffeemate in the morning....and exercising....thanks for your help
Diabetes tests are in order as well as reviewing your Levothyroxine dosage. You can help yourself in the meantime by lowering your simple carb intake, avoiding sugary foods and starches, and perform some sort of physical exercise daily. Discuss with your Endo or ask to speak with an diabetes nutritionist about diet plans. Good luck
