Eating veggies is the best way to reduce your sugar. Also drink water.

Hello,

May I ask what is 'the right diet" that you are eating?   People with diabetes have an inability for their body to handle carbohydrates.  Therefore, one of the best ways to address this is to restrict carbs.

The best diet for people with diabetes, if you are using diet alone to control your condition, is one consisting of very low carb intake; avoiding sugars, sweet fruits, and grains and sticking with carbs mostly from vegetables along with quality protein and fat sources.

If you are following a low-carb eating approach and exercising and your sugars are still high, then it is time to add in medications.  A typical first line medication is Glucophage/ metformin.  There are also other medications available or even insulin.  Your doctor can advise you on this.

Please let us know how you go.
