Sooo how do you manage to lower a glucose count?

[H1lifeee]

My dumbass thought as long as I workout I can eat whatever I want, now I have a high glucose not too high it’s at 101 but still I gotta change that.

I took care of my dad when he had extremely high sugar level 300 and I made sure he becomes healthy again. So, I'll share some things -

Switch whole wheat with refined flour. Avoid processed food as much as you can and start making food at home instead. Reduce intake of sugar. Try having fruits in moderation instead and have some dry fruits. Use sugar-free if you have a habit of drinking tea or coffee. Make sure you don't eat a lot of food that has starch and carbs as carbs converts into sugar. So, don't eat a lot of bread. Don't eat rice often and when you do, have brown rice instead. If you want to eat white rice. Eat white rice like basmati (has low glycemic index than other rice) in moderation and make sure to include protein in it as it will make sure your sugar level won't raise that much. Don't eat potatoes often and when you do eat in moderation. Avoid tapioca pearls. Have food that's good for controlling sugar like fenugreek leaves and have some dry fruits

Excercise. Make sure you're in healthy weight. Reduce your stress as it also raise sugar level. There's also a drink that can help control your sugar level if you've had a chest day but it taste bitter and I doubt you'll follow it. Take care.

Was it 101 after you hadn't eaten for several hours? If it was, yeah, that is a little high but if you had eaten within the last couple hrs it's within normal range. Being overweight contributes to diabetes, so exercise can definitely help lower your weight and obviously watch your diet. And see a doctor if you're not already.

Seeing the doc today, thanks I normally don’t come here talking about my health but it kinda freaked me out just a little bit

Your blood sugar levels fluctuate during the day. it can be higher after a meal. Generally speaking, it's as dumb and easy as it sounds. If you want less blood sugar, then eat less sugar. That's all there is to it. You gotta consider that everything with glucose, fructose, sugar, carbs and starch will all increase your blood sugar level.

[H1lifeee]

Ok I get it see that’s where I went wrong I eat a ton of junk but thought it was ok because I exercise I gotta cut back on the junk

[genericname85]

There's a very true saying about this: even the best training can't outrun a bad diet. Like you can be super fit and still get diabetes. But you should probably talk about nutritional health and your particular health status to a doctors not random idiots on the Internet xD
Like if you are fasting and still have 100 blood sugar, that's high. But if you just ate like normal recently before the test, that's not a bad value.

[H1lifeee]

Yeah it was like that after fasting

[H1lifeee]

Gonna see my doc

Stop eating crap. Sugared drinks are the absolute worst. If you are drinking them, stop immediately.

[Abbycado]

Watch your diet as well as working out.

[H1lifeee]

Yeah see I got the working out part down I gotta work on the diet tho… I’m just glad it’s not too high I caught it early

[Abbycado]

Yeah, at least you know and can adjust and keep an eye on it.
