Hello Ron

If you are not feeling well or perhaps just feeling so-so, and if it’s diabetes related, you will need to start somewhere.

For your own wellbeing, please try go back to basics, it might help you.

Start a food diary to see what food is causing your BS to be raised and which might be making you feel poorly.

Practice portion control.

Eat only Diabetic friendly meals.
White foods, sugar, white bread, pizza, pasta, white potatoes and so on will elevate your BS and you will feel unwell. 

Slowly cut carbs. 

If you don’t have kidney problems, hydrate well.

If overweight, you will need to lose. 

If you are not exercising, you can start by taking short walks and then extending them, little by little.
I hope that you’ll have a better day tomorrow.

If you continue to feel under par, you should consider making an appointment to see your Health Care Professional, as you might need a reassessment of your meds.

You need to keep your BS stabilised to stop highs and low which will lead to acumulative damage. 🤗

Why are good blood sugar levels important?
It is important that you control your blood glucose levels as well as you can as too high sugar levels for long periods of time increases the risk of diabetes complications developing.
Diabetes complications are health problems which include:
* Kidney disease
* Nerve damage
* Retinal disease
* Heart disease
* Stroke
This list of problems may look scary but the main point to note is that the risk of these problems can be minimised through good blood glucose level control. Small improvements can make a big difference if you stay dedicated and maintain those improvements over most days.
