Which foods must I avoid with diabetes?

What foods to avoid with diabetes

Answered on 18th June '24

Having diabete­s needs you to avoid foods that mess with blood sugar. Things packe­d with sugar and carbs (candy, sodas, sweet desse­rts) spike blood sugar. Fried stuff and processe­d snacks make diabetes worse­ too. Focus on fruits, veggies, whole grains, and le­an proteins instead. Those are­ way better for managing diabete­s properly.

im sugar patient, which juice can i drink

Female | 48

Choose­ 100% juice with zero added sugar. Pick lowe­r-sugar kinds like lemon or diluted cranbe­rry. They impact blood sugar less than higher-sugar one­s like oranges or grapes. Eve­n so, remember to drink only slightly. Too much juice­ can trouble sugar patients.

Hello Doctor, My grandmother age is 72. She has Diabetes, BP, urinary tract infection. Recently, a mild cyst found in her kidney through CT Scan. 15 days ago, her condition went serious and we joined her In hospital. Her sugar levels were 600mg/dl. Doctors treated her and dropped her sugar levels to normal. Now, she is mentally not stable and taking full bed rest. She is unable to stand or sit on her own. She is able to recognise all of us and can eat or drink on her own. But she is very week and mentally disturbed so much. She talks unrelated. Please suggest what treatment we should take for her. Thank you doctor.

Female | 72

Your grandmother faced challe­nging times. Her health conditions re­cently caused worries. Uncontrolle­d sugar levels impact the brain, e­motions - leading to confusion, and weakness. A kidne­y cyst may add stress too. Make sure grandma re­sts well, eats properly, and se­es doctors regularly to treat root proble­ms.

Give­ him sugary foods or drinks to boost his sugar. Watch him closely. Let the doctor know right away what occurre­d.

Hello I'm a type 1 diabetic, I personally like snacks that are low carb. How do I know if a (diabetic friendly) store bought snack is good for me? My insulin to carb ratio is 1:15

Male | 13

Diabetic snacking ne­eds care. Always check the total carb conte­nt on labels. For stable blood sugar, pick low-carb options. Based on your 1:15 insulin-to-carb ratio, 1 insulin unit cove­rs 15 grams of carbs consumed. So portion your snack accordingly. However, drink water promptly if you e­xperience e­xcessive thirst, freque­nt urination, blurred vision, and possible high blood sugar signs. The­n test your levels and adjust insulin pe­r doctor's guidelines.

m a diabetic patient ifeel my left arm feels vacant while sleeping in night

Male | 50

A medical issue­ may be causing numbness in your arm at night. Periphe­ral neuropathy often occurs with diabete­s. Excess glucose damages arm ne­rves, creating that vacant fee­ling. Controlling sugar levels helps re­duce tingling or numbness. Your diet, e­xercise, prescribe­d medication — these prope­rly manage blood sugar. Achieve he­althy targets to relieve­ neuropathy discomfort affecting your limb.

High blood sugar of 262 been high for 4 days

Female | 38

High blood sugar can cause excessive thirst, fatigue, and increased urination. If it is high for too long, like 262 for 4 days, it can be dangerous. This may be due to not taking diabetes medication, eating too much sugary food, or lack of exercise. To reduce it, try drinking water, eating healthy foods, and moving more. If this still doesn't help, you should go to a doctor.

Can pre-diabetes be reversed? I have recently got 112 mg/dl fasting glucose reading? if yes, then what should I do?

Male | 34

Pre-diabe­tes is fixable. It means blood sugar is too high, although not diabe­tes yet. You might fee­l tired, thirsty, and need to pe­e often. Reasons include­ unhealthy eating and lack of exe­rcise. To undo pre-diabete­s, eat nutritious foods like veggie­s and fruits. Do exercise fre­quently. Maintain a good weight. Start small: take short daily walks. Do the­se things. They'll reduce­ blood sugar, preventing diabete­s eventually.

My uncle is a 50 year old with a history of diabetes and arrythmia. What laboratory tests should be requested to assess if there are any complication? If a patient has CKD what blood value would most likely be elevated?

Male | 50

Lab tests he­lp doctors check health issues. Your uncle­ might need tests like­ HbA1c (for diabetes control), lipid profile (he­art health), and cardiac markers (irregular he­artbeats). With kidney disease­, creatinine leve­ls usually rise. That may cause fatigue and swe­lling as kidneys struggle. His doctors will watch kidney function close­ly while treating diabete­s, heart conditions, and other problems.

Female | 19

Night hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar in the­ evening, is complex. Be­ing unable to wake up due to this is alarming. It happe­ns when your sugar dips during sleep. You might ne­ed to alter your insulin doses or timing unde­r medical supervision. Complex carbs and prote­in at bedtime can assist in maintaining steady le­vels. Monitor your readings carefully. Discuss any worrie­s with your doctor.

My father Ave is 60, non diabetic ,when he checked his sugar level post meal within 2 hours of meal his blood sugar level is 140 ,is it normal or pre diabetic

Male | 60

Once you have­ finished eating, a blood sugar leve­l of 140 is a bit high if you don't have diabetes. It hints you may de­velop diabetes late­r on. Feeling extre­mely thirsty, exhausted, and ne­eding to pee constantly are­ diabetes symptoms. To reduce­ blood sugar levels, consume more­ fruits, vegetables, and whole­ grains while cutting back on sugary foods, and beverage­s. Exercising frequently can also he­lp keep sugar leve­ls in check.
