Hi Gwaithmir
I wish you luck with the diabetes treatment. Few suggestions from my side (MsC in Food technologies and PhD industrial biotech, wife PhD in pharmaceutical science
- Walk: never enough to stress how walking is important. If you do not want to walk outside of your house for whatever reason, just watch TV while you bike on a static bike or walk on a threadmill
- Go in bed early, get at least 7h of sleep --> this adjust your natural insulin level
- Do a little exercise as soon as you wake up, really 3-4 minutes of intense exercise: that pump up your adrenalin level and you will not crave sugars in the morniing to "adjust" from sleep to wake
- Carbohydrates: as long as you eat moderately (60 - 80 grams portion) of unrefined ones there is no issue
- Eat legumes and pulses: chicken peas, beans, broadbeans etc they are perfect: rich in fiber, plenty of protein and with low glycemic index carbohydrates
- Not indulge too much in iperproteic diets: they are bad for your kidneys and you can form sugars in your body starting from aminoacidic cathabolism
