Tips for blood sugar control~

My mother is not diabetic, but her blood sugar levels are very close to that, so she is continuously managing her condition.

 

Once you have diabetes, treatment is very difficult and there are many things that need to be managed.

 

I think it would be helpful to manage things to some extent before it gets to that point, so I am leaving this message.

 

Initially, you measured your blood sugar levels every day, but now it seems you only measure once or twice a week, which indicates significant improvement.

 

It is not necessary to take medication separately or spend a lot of time exercising.

 

Since it wasn't serious, they managed to control their diet. However, for those who didn't do it before, it can be quite difficult.

 

First, I stopped eating white rice. You should mainly eat mixed grain rice or brown rice. It is also best to avoid consuming flour-based products like bread.

 

Initially, I didn't eat at all, and now that I've improved a lot, I eat about a third or half of a piece of bread, but I hardly eat that either.

 

And she eats fish a little, but significantly reduces her intake of red meat. She especially removes all the fatty parts of beef and pork. As a result, the beef becomes quite dry and the pork loses much of its flavor, so she doesn't eat them much.

 

And you mainly ate vegetables, like eating salads with things like cabbage.

 

However, as you eat like this, you mentioned that even eating vegetables can cause constipation. So, you also ate some fiber-rich foods like potatoes and sweet potatoes.

 

Even now, you manage this much, but I think you were a bit more strict in the early days.

 

If there are some signs before developing diabetes, it would be good to overcome them initially with aerobic exercise and dietary control like this.
