Answered on 16th June '24
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.

High blood sugar above 203 is abnormal after eating. It occurs when your body can't produce enough insulin or use it correctly. You may often feel thirsty, tired, and hungry. Manage high blood sugar by following a balanced diet, staying active through exercise, and taking medications prescribed. Check blood sugar levels frequently. See your doctor for more guidance.

Are store-bought low-carb snacks suitable for type 1 diabetics?
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
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 15th June '24
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.

Why is my mouth so dry with diabetes?
I am diabetic having Hba1c 6.6 and below upto 6.3 for last 2 years. My problem is that every time my mouth remains dry even after drinking water frequently. Since I don't have any idea to whom I need to consult regarding this,I consulted Dentist in this regard. He advised me to use SALEVA,a solution for dry mouth twice a day. It relieves for some hours but for remaining time,I am not comfortable. My mouth becomes so dry that I donot find any sputum most of the time and hence facing swallowing problem. As per the advice of dentist I am using sugar free chewing gum 'ORBIT' also. Please suggest, what to do.
Dr. Babita Goel

Dry mouth is uncomfortable. You have diabetes. Your high Hba1c levels cause it. Diabetes damages nerves, reducing saliva flow. Dry mouth makes swallowing hard, causing other problems too. Use products your dentist advised. Sip water frequently. Avoid caffeine. Stay hydrated. If it persists, consult your doctor or endocrinologist. They'll explore treatment options.

Wrong Medication Dose: Taking 150mg Instead of 100mg
I've been given the wrong dose meds, I'm meant to be on 100mg a day, I have 50mg tablets, I take 2 a day. I've been given 150mg tablets, the prescription sticker on the box says 50mg, but it's a box of 150 mg tablets, I've been taking 2 a day for a couple weeks.
