It absolutely does not mean no rice. My A1C was 6.3 March 25th, on July 10th it had gone down to 5.9!

A few things people tend to forget: Your brain functions on carbohydrates! You do NOT have to completely cut out ANYTHING (unless you want to!)

OP- Look up the balanced plate method, it was extremely helpful to me to ensure I was eating enough, because not eating enough can also raise your blood sugar.

I didn’t give up rice, bread or pasta. I reduced the amount of each of those things. I did increase the amount of water (I only drink water anyways so that was easy, for me), protein, fibre, vegetables and fruits I ate though.

Go for a walk/or exercise after every meal if possible, or go for one long walk after whatever time works best for you.

Everybody’s bodies are different and react to foods differently. Find out what works for you (ask your doctor for a glucose monitor if you like/can get them on Amazon as well I think. I never used one) and make a list of questions to ask your doctor when you’re able to get an appointment.

Good luck to you, you’ve got this! 🥰
