Hi welcome to HCM
I have gone thru your query regarding your
diabetes 2
As diabetes is a life style disease , caused by irregular faulty food habits and our faulty irregular way of living and lack of physical activity
I think by your experience of forced starving / taking controlled diet , your BSLevel became better, as you said " it seems without the larger intake of food that my sugar wasn't up high " i wasnt flying off the hook like in nov and dec the
stress was awful then" but the sugar levels got better with not eating as much " , you must have understood the importance of controlled , , balanced diet .
It should include all essential nutrients -main diet of fibers ,fruit, veges vitamins & minerals , all antioxidants- raw ginger, garlic , lemon juice with water , bitter gourd juice 20-25 ml
Aloe vera juice 25 ml + Amla juice 2 spoons , fenu greek powder 1 spoon with water ,turmeric powder a level spoon with cup of hot milk at bed time ,
Avoid fried , fast foods tea ,coffee ,alcohol ,
smoking ,mental stress ,worry
anxiety and most important is to clear you bowls . as
constipation is mother of all ills .
Last but not the least , regular walk , exercise ,
yoga pranayam-deep breathing
helps in detoxifying and strengthening the immune system to enhace resistance from diseases and pave way for healthy , happy ,disease free life .
Condition is regularity
Mind it Gulping on medicine only will not help unless you follow above regimen ,having no side effects , goes with any therapy , side by side with medication , if at all you need .
If your health is fine ,everything falls in line automatically
Hope this helps solve your query .Take care .All the best ,
