Since I know some of you had diabetes as a comorbid i thought i would ask.

My husband was just recently diagnosed with bordline diabetes. He is taking two

meds by mouth. One twice a day and one once a day! I am trying to find out

(since i didnt go to the dr with him) how much sugar grams he is allowed a day

or what it is he should actually be watching on his diet!

Thanks for taking the time!

Crystal he needs to stay away from the carbs. If he does have fruit it should

be small amounts. Watch the fats for sure. I tried to always steer clear of

any sugars. I wasn't always successful but I knew what I was suppose to do.

Hope this helps.

I am also a diabetic taking 2 meds 1 twice a day 1 once a day... Breads,

Spagetti sauces , pasta's...Sodas need to be avoided... My Dr said to me all

bread will turn to sugar. The less he can eat the better he will be. He has to

alter his whole way of eatting. Avoid the late nite snacks. If he must have

ice cream eat sugar free. Soda is a big one. If he dislikes the diet soda one i

found that really doesnt taste like diet is Pepsi One... I also think diet

turkey hill ice tea or the crystal lites are good... There are alot of thinks

that will send sugar numbers up... I eat chinese food it goes up. You just have

know thats why and make sure that he watches what he eats... I found that in

beginning keeping a log of meals and snacks along with accu ck numbers will

show him what is happening with the foods he eats... Remember that testing after

meals will usually not give you a somewhat accurate number till about 90

minutes post meal... Sorry if this doesnt make sense I kinda have trouble

I never counted sugar grams. It's all about Carbs. Remember almost

everything turns to sugar in your body. It just depends on how fast. Your

husband should see a dietician and they can best tell you how man carbs,

fat, protein per day.

I was allowed 10-12 carb selections per day. 15 grams of carbs equal 1

selection. So essentially like a piece of bread is 1 selection. But now I

am on far far less.
