You need to limit your carbohydrates since these turn directly into glucose which will cause a blood sugar to rise but then it will fall rapidly unless there is enough protein to help keep it level. By eliminating actual sweets and excess carbohydrates from your diet you help keep your blood sugar more level. You need to eat a healthy breakfast, have snack in the morning, a low carb lunch, a mid afternoon snack, a good supper and then a bed time snack. You will need to carry some of those packets of cheese and crackers or peanut butter and crackers with you at all times so that when you feel a hypo attack coming on you can combat it right away until you can get someplace for a decent snack. You will also want to carry some ready sugar with you like a candy bar or glucose tablets in case it is severe. Your snacks will be best if there is some protein in them like cheese and crackers etc. As for losing weight the simple rule of burning off more calories than you take in is the best way to go. Also by eliminating a lot of the carbs you get is sweet things like desserts and doughnuts you will automatically start to loose some weight. If you have any further diet concerns you should schedule an appointment with a diabetic nurse practicioner or a dietician. Also a good thing to remember is that celery is called a negative calorie food since it takes more calories to chew and digest celery than what is in it so this is always a good choice for something to add your meals when watching your weight.
