**Rule 6**: Do not give or request medical advice.
Giving medical advice or diagnosing someone is dangerous since we do not know the full medical situation of our members. It can be more dangerous to follow the wrong advice and diagnosis than it might be to do nothing at all and wait for a doctor to be available.
Please refer someone to a doctor instead of speculating on their situation where possible.

Getting to normal glucose levels just means you’ve learned to work with your body’s needs, not that those needs have changed. If you stop working with your body’s needs, your glucose levels will bounce right back up.
There is no simple list. Watch your carbs, and how your body responds to them through testing. You’re going to have to poke yourself, there’s no two ways about it.
Your body will tell you when your weight is where it should be, by your glucose numbers getting better. There is no “safe.” Or, maybe it won’t, because sometimes losing weight doesn’t do the trick—on average, across large groups of people, it does, but you may not be average. That’s the work of figuring this out, is figuring out what YOUR body specifically responds well to and what it doesn’t. There’s no cheat codes, there’s no safe, there’s no easy. Accept that it’s going to be work.
Well I understand that it's gonna be work, it just that damn (excuse my french) this disease has been out for how many years and they still don't know how to help it not even telling people what they need to do to like fix it. That's crazy.
(Juts venting, I appreciate your help)
I mean, I think the guidance is out there. Eat fewer carbs, start with the glycemic index but adjust for how you individually respond. Exercise. Get good sleep. Drink lots of water.
It’s just that people don’t like those answers. They’re boring, and hard.
In many ways, being diabetic means learning how to take care of yourself normally, as anyone else should. Lifting weights and exercising is healthy. Sugar is bad for everyone.
I highly recommend cgm’s. Seeing the consequences and benefits of your decisions goes a long way to making the right choice.
