Dump the military diet idea. Where did this dietitian get their certification?

This image helped me the most when trying to get my head wrapped around the diabetic diet.

45g of carbs per meal is not a small amount. You should be able to have lots of choices within that.

The military diet looks really...bland. It looks calorie restricted but not like a long term diet. I wouldn't be inclined to follow that either.

That's interesting. My doctor prescribed a completely different plate to deal with blood sugar issues.

Here's another link that might be more closely related to what you are looking for.

My, your sugars are high. When are you testing? Do you take a fasting number first thing in the morning, and two hours after you eat?

I test my sugar levels on even calendar days at 630am n my odd days at 930-10pm. Thank you for more links. My Dr n dietitian have me taking invokana n lipitor. I drink about a gallon a water a day. You can view my diary if you like to see if you can suggest better suggestions if you like. I need any help

Diary is closed. Eat less carbohydrate if your blood sugar is that high. 50 grams per day perhaps.
