What Diet Plan Should Be Followed To Keep Blood Sugar Levels Under Control?

I am a 76 yr old male who was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I am not overweight. I am 5 8 and weight 155. I have been on metformin and lisinopril since diagnosis. My A1c is 6.5. I am not on insulin. I need to get a meal plan and diet to help control my disease. I have been having hypoglycemia episodes for the last couple of months. My glucose is running anywhere from 71 to 244 for the last month. When I have an episode to goes down to 35 to 53. I am looking for a food plan to help know when and how often and what to eat. I would appreciate any help I can get.

Hi,

For controlling the blood sugar two possible ways are there, one is drugs and the second is diet. Plasma glucose level needs to be maintained on the tight rule basis. As long as the diet is concerned, avoid taking high calorie diet, along with this exercise is equally important. Here, in your case it seems that everything is alright and no need to worry.

Hope I have answered your query.
