    Good video thanks. It would have been useful to say *when* to test and when not. Like before or after a meal.

      Winner of a video, been searching for "diet to lower blood sugar" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Bancarlett Diyily Scheme - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate got great results with it.

    Much relief after going through this stuff. Stress no doubt affects my blood sugar levels ruclips.net/user/postUgkx6Cu3qDh3FB7umUbfXaU7hDAHrqvwQyNk Taking a walk usually help bring them down. Eating sweets is not my favorite, but if i take a large portion of them, my blood sugar level rises high. I think it's the high concentration of the glucose flowing into the bloodstream all at once. This is a lesson worth taking note of. This is a great material to learn from.

      Hi there Jesse, there isn't any food or fruits that people who are living with diabetes cannot eat. The sugar in fruit is natural, which is different to added/artificial sugars.

      I have been suffering from (HERPES) disease for the last four years and had constant pain, especially in my knees. During the first year, I had faith in God that I would be healed someday.This disease started to circulate all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, a few weeks ago I came on search on the internet if I could get any information concerning the prevention of this disease, on my search I saw a testimony of someone who has been healed from (Hepatitis B and Cancer) by this Man Dr. Standing Friday and she also gave the email address of this man and advise we should contact him for any sickness that he would be of help, so I wrote to Dr. Standing Friday telling him about my (HERPES Virus) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! hmm i never believed it,, well after all the procedures and remedy given to me by this man few weeks later I started experiencing changes all over me as the Dr. assured me that I have cured, after some time i went to my doctor to confirmed if I have been finally healed behold it was TRUE, So friends my advice is if you have such sickness or any other at all you can email Dr. Standing Friday (drfriday234@gmail.com) sir I am indeed grateful for the help I will forever recommend you to my friends!!! with your lovely Email Address (drfriday234@gmail.com or whatsapp him on +2349049521615 Facebook page 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇free.facebook.com/Doctor-standingfriday-108889861023894/?ref=opera_speed_dial

    What fruits should diabetics avoid?

    • @diabetesuk
      @diabetesuk  Год назад

      Hi Michael, there are no fruits that people living with diabetes should avoid, although we do recommend with dried fruits generally to watch portion sizes as it's easy to get carried away. Also, we do recommend limiting the amount of fruit juice you drink as these tend to be high in natural sugars. Here is some more guidance on living with diabetes and consuming fruit: www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/enjoy-food/eating-with-diabetes/diabetes-food-myths/myth-fruit-diabetes

    It's better to get your lance ready before placing strip, my opinion. If you use alcohol wipes, don't use first drop of blood. It could be tainted and not give you accurate results.

    actually the needle or lancet u can use again and again. Secondly, some dont have a adjustment for the lancet. The needle or lancet pricks so fast there is no worry for contamination, unless of course u drop it or ur finger is some how dirty. Thirdly, those things somehow turn off. watch out. Also, due to wrong readings.As it does start to happen. Products designed to fail. Reset by taking the battery out flipping the battery ,putting the cap back on .Then taking completely out . Then put back right usually fatter or plus side up. Never trust the reading as it can be too high or tool low should be within 6. Then you might or usually have todo this ever 15 reading or so even cleaning the port with a alcohol swab. ie alcohol on a Kleenex ..placed on a toothpix . Just be careful when u place it in the port. GL

    • @rimaahali4859
      @rimaahali4859 Год назад

      Go to a dietician, nutritionist. You can eat anything but in proportions and in a timely matter And. Exercise . Make the better choices as well. Exchange one carb for a better carb. Eat a less sugary fruit for instance. Drink water instead of juice or soda. Add lemon to it.
      Read many resources and get counseled . Blessings
