In early sobriety my doctor suggested and I followed
an eating plan for hypoglycemia for 6 months.
I consider this helped me immensley with healing.
I also walked daily. Took a Multi and a B12.

I've been sober 20 years ..6 years ago
I was diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic.
It is a family problem..even with the non drinkers.

I do take 2 daily med's for diabetes and watch my diet
most of the time. I want to share something about
testing your blood sugar leverls
I take mine 2x a day.

Mine vary .swings of 100 points are not unusual.
At first this really upset me....but checking with other sober
diabetics I found this happens with them too
None of us exercise probably a factor re wide swings.

To be accurate about your blood sugar ...a doctor will do
a fasting blood sugar panel with a blood test. Every
3 months a urine test will accurately acess where you
are as well as protien levels.

Plese do see your doctor and be honest about your drinking.

I do regularly attend AA non smoking meetings
rarely see sweets there and I don't drink coffee.
No one there cares about anything but how to
recover from alcoholism.
