Diabetic Diet & Blood Gluecose

i was diagnosed with hyperglycemia as a teenager. i was told to cut sugar from my diet. i did and my symptoms cleared up. i returned my eating habits to normal and was fine. have recently started to wonder if feelings i experience now are linked to it.? i eat about every 2 hours if i dont i feel sick and cant concentrate often have headaches when im hungry. i am of a normal weight for my height.

when I’m hyperglycemic I’m thirsty, REALLY thirsty. I put the cup down after drinking the whole thing, and it’s like I hadn’t had a drop to drink! I’m also constantly peeing – pretty much like you hear about from others. Everyone says "how would I know?" You just know… it’s not just excessive, it’s extreme. I also have no appetite, and if it evolves into DKA it’s topped off with sleepiness i can’t even explain.

My boyfriend of the past 8 months is diabetic and has been for 20 years. I am not in charge of the food we eat as I do all the cooking. I try to cook as healthy as possible … but need some tips on what is good and or bad for him. I do as much low fat good as possible … I try to find sugar free recipes for cakes and cookies – but has a real hard time finding them or the ingredients … where do you shop to get these things.

He wont eat it if it is boring and I dont think it should be … there has to be some hidden secret that I dont know about … on where to find good sugar free ingredients ?

What types of diet plans do you or someone you love follow.
I just want to make sure I am helping him with his condition …

There has to be more I can do with what I feed us ?

Please any help or suggestions is REALLY needed. Thank You.

People with diabetes can eat anything they want.
Yes, there are some choices that are better than others.
It’s not the sugar to worry about, it’s the carbs.We all need carbs and they are the only thing that raises blood sugar.
Get yourself a book with nutritional information and count carbs. Ask your Bf how many carbs he should eat each meal.
You don’t need to use artificial sugar in baking. It still has the carbs and generally tastes like garbage.
If you bake cookies, he should only have a small portion of carbs with his meal to make room for the cookies.
For instance :
Baked Chicken [ 0 carbs ]
Baked potato [30 carbs ]
green beans [about 5 carbs in a 1/2 cup serving ]
2 Rolls [ 60 carbs ]
That is a bit high.
If you change the two rolls into one, he still has room for cookies.
It’s all a trade off.
Perhaps you should both go to a dietitian to learn what is best.
Good luck.
