High Blood Sugar - need suggestions

Ok, so I was told today that my blood sugar is high (from yesterday's lab work) 115, she says healthy range is 75-106. She said to watch my carbs, stay away from breads, pastas etc.... So I went on a mad google search, and I'm looking for lists of what I can have. Essentially meat and veggies.... but I have to be careful about what meats.

I'm ok with taking away bread, I don't eat it, but i do eat white flour tortillas I'm learning it's still flour and that's a no no. Oy.... I'm not complaining but what a way to throw me off.

There are lots of lists of what NOT to eat, so what CAN I eat when I'm staying away from that stuff? I need better answers than what google and search is providing.

Thanks!

You don't necessarily have to cut out breads etc. It's more about learning how to eat carbs with protein. My mom has diabetes and controls it with diet. She has an english muffin with cheddar cheese every morning for breakfast. She also enjoys pasta and has a sandwich most days for lunch.

Buy a glucometer and learn how to prepare your carbs with protein. About 90 minutes after your meal check your blood sugar and see how your body reacts. Whenever she adds a new meal to their menu she does this and decides if it's a keeper or not.

Ouch - I think my blood sugar this morning was close to 115. I was diagnosed with type II diabetes late last year, I probably would have been happy to get more warning from my doctor when my blood glucose levels were inching up. Anyhow, I had to go to a training class and one of the things they covered was limiting carbohydrate. (That's how I ended up on My Fitness Pal - they recommended it for the tracking!) From what I remember we were told to divide the carbs in units of 15 grams. We ladies could have 2 units of carbs for breakfast, and I think 3 or 4 units for lunch and supper. I've been lazy and not strictly tracking the numbers but yesterday at supper I had two small 'fajita size' flour tortillas for 34 g of carbohydrate and my total for the meal was about 64 grams. 60 grams = 4 carbs. And what is more if you have more than 5 grams of fiber you can subtract those from the total carbs. I had 7 grams of fiber so that makes 64 - 7 = 57. Well, that is what I remember from the lectures.

I guess my message is that if you track what you eat you can probably fit in a small flour tortilla or so if you really wanted. Keep track of what you have. Instead of having tortillas I'd put things on a bed of lettuce - fajita salad. Work in more non-stachy vegetables, they have fewer carbohydrates per unit volume and also have the fiber. Think of things you might like to try and enter them into the diary to see if your carbs come out okay or no. I imagine that there will be other with good suggestions.

here is a life saver in the bread category--Have a diabetic friend who went gaga over it. Walmart has wraps in their DELI dept. called JOSEPHS flax see and oat bran lavash bread. They come in round or a sheet and they are WONDERFUL. One sheet is 100 cals and 1/2 is more than enough to wrap a sammie. I also cut them in bite size pieces, spray with olive oil and celery salt and toast them on both side. THOSE make great 100 cal snacks for the movies. Go get them and read the back--you ingest very little carbs and they taste great.
