Hi I am Hobo and I am a newly diagnosed diabetic

9. I hope you can change your diet and that helps

get your blood sugar down.

My daughter is a renal dietitian and has freely offered information about healthy eating. We didn't pay much attention, because we all want to eat the food that tastes good to us.

My sugar was edging up 2018-2019. I decided to limit my total daily carbs to 100 or less. I stopped eating pizza, sandwiches, bananas, white potatoes, pasta. I switched over to almond milk, or coconut almond milk, any of the 1 carb nut milks. I was really strict up until recently, got my sugar down an average of 50 points, and lost about 50 lbs. The first many months, I craved the food I stopped eating, but it got easier. The weight loss was a surprise. My blood sugar has never been over 200.

I basically eat meat and veggies. I bake a loaf of white flour bread about every 10 days. I can control the ingredients, and slice it very thin. I've been experimenting with almond and coconut flour, making very low-carb bakery, such as coconut flour biscuits, almond mozzarella pastry, which is a versatile and tasty recipe.

I'd recommend talking to a dietitian to make sure you pick foods that are good for your overall health. If your cholesterol is high, you don't want to make it higher getting your sugar down, for instance. Good luck.
