Here is a question I received from foodpicker.org:
I have just been diagnosed with diabetes. Doctors say I have uncontrollable diabetes any tips on how I can get my sugar level down?
The good news is that through diet, exercise and medication diabetes can be managed very effectively which means you can take back control of your blood sugars! One of the first things I would recommend doing is start educating yourself about diabetes. Meet with a Registered Dietitian and/or a CDE- Certified Diabetes Educator who can help you come up with a meal plan and explain how to test your blood sugars and when and how to take your medication and/or insulin. See if your local hospital offers a diabetes class for newly diagnosed diabetics. There are a lot of resources out there for diabetics! Next, start implementing what you learn including watching your carbohydrate intake, taking your medication as prescribed, checking your blood sugars daily or as often as your health care provider suggests and start an exercise routine. By losing weight you will have better control of your blood sugars.
