Blood sugar?!
Question:
Blood sugar?
Had some blood tests taken about a month ago and i went back to the doctor wednesday to review the blood tests. He said everything was normal except my blood sugar was 100. The reason i went to the doctor is because i was having sleepy spells and my mind was foggy. I have days like where i just dont feel normal. Its like its my blood sugar causing it. Like today i got a little shakey and had to eat something. Then when i ate a sandwhich i got tired. The doctor told me that i was "pre-diabetic" and to cut down on what i eat and excersise. The night before i went to the doctor i slept 3 hours. The next day after i slept 8 hours i felt weird. Could it be my sleeping pattern causing my blood sugar to do this? Im 15 and yes im overweight. I want some advice on how to eat the right foods and excersise right. Or anyone who has diabeties how do they treat theres? The doctor didnt say anything about putting me on medication. He said to watch haha.
Answers:
Follow a diet like what a diabetic eats.
1. No more then 30-60 g of carbs per meal.
2. Cut out regular soda - only diet drinks or water, tea, coffee
3. Snacks should be no more then 15-30 g of carbs
4. Eat lean protein, veggies, and fruit (forget bananas for now).
The key is keeping enough food in your system so your glucose doesn't go to high or to low.
Keep some hard candy with you in case you start to feel shaky and you can't get to something to eat/drink.
