Eliminating sugar

I eat simple carbs in moderation and try to eat complex carbs like oatmeal and Ezekiel bread. I also eat a high protein diet. Combined with daily exercise I was able to go off insulin. I still take oral meds but my blood sugar is well controlled and I'm now in pre-diabetic range
@Marcelle ohh ok yes I need to cut out the starch…right now I’m eating berries which are lower in carb but I don’t eat that much of them…more like snack on them a little bit a day…but fruit is really good for you and actually helps heal your body over time so I don’t wanna cut it out although I don’t eat as much fruit as I used to like in smoothies
@Alicia ok awesome congrats mama! That’s one thing too I need more exercise…but oats spiked my blood sugar but I think it’s because I was adding sugar to it lol but I currently use honey, and coconut sugar in small amounts…I have come to hate artificial sweeteners…Allulose isn’t so bad but it’s the sugar alcohols and Sucralose I don’t like…and I can’t find pure monk fruit sweetener
Try amazon for monkfruit sweetner. I use a little Splenda in my oatmeal or eat it plain or with berries
My blood sugar is more affected by rice, bread, potatoes, and fruit than by foods with sugar. I do limit foods with sugar, but I haven’t completely cut them out. But cutting out rice bread potatoes and fruit has helped me to keep my blood sugar more level. I don’t drink soda at all either.
