you have to watch your calorie intake really important watch your carbs cut your sugar intake fresh vegetables and fresh fruit alot of sugar free stuff label reading its gonna be important that you take your blood glucose be real careful with it keep your a1c down they can test you about every 4 months to see how your doing you need good protein levels watch your red meat intake keep some sugar in your frigerator this way you can use it if your blood sugar level is low very important to keep it up
If you’re looking for foods that raise blood-sugar levels slowly and gently like rolling waves, choose high-quality carbohydrates instead of low-quality carbs like refined grains and sugary foods. Whenever possible, you’ll want to couple these carbs with protein and/or healthy fat. Beans (including black, white, navy, lima, pinto, garbanzo, soy, and kidney) are a winning combination of high-quality carbohydrates, lean protein, and soluble fiber that helps stabilize your body’s blood-sugar levels and keeps hunger in check. Beans are also inexpensive, versatile, and virtually fat-free.
