Hey, sending some encouragement over to you. Did the doctor recommend you to see a dietician? Not sure what is your diet like, but when I was first diagnosed with diabetes, I had a hard time too. It’s been 2 years and I am expecting my first child. I still get frustrated that I have to put so much thought just to buy a meal or cook a meal to keep the glucose levels down. I learnt that some food that we think are healthy may not necessarily be healthy. For example, oats would generally be recommended for diabetics. But it was only 2 years after I was diagnosed with diabetes and I have to control my glucose even more for my baby that I decided to research. And i found out that INSTANT OATS ARE NOT HEALTHY. Because they are instant, they are precooked so that it’s fast to cook. And because of that, the glycemic index is high, thus leading to high glucose. But other forms of oats are okay. Rolled oats are okay just not instant oats of any form.
