Hi Alice!
I've been a diabetic now for over 25 years. I was on metformin for at least that long. I also take prednisone.
In 2021 I had some medical issues and had to go off metformin and I have not been on medication ever since.
The foods that you need to avoid are obviously sugars and sweets.
The other foods that will Spike your sugar are pasta, bread, potatoes, crackers, chips ,yams, beans and other starchy foods.
I'm able to keep my blood sugar down by eating meats,, eggs, nuts, seeds, some fruits in moderation blueberries are great.
You need to check out the foods that are on the low glycemic index.
You need to eat a low-carb diet that will help. Carnivore is a good one if you can stand it for very long.
Good luck, Alice

Hi Alice - my suggestion is to check your blood glucose level every day. In my case on prednisone it was spiking my glucose to the high 200-low 300 level after fasting!!! My dr weaned me off of it but it takes time. I felt I was on the verge of diabetes I had all the signs. She had me eating no carbs or sugars even natural sugar. I’m off the prednisone for a month and a half now and finally my fasting blood glucose is under 110 and most of my symptoms related to diabetes have gone away.

I have now done my own research as to what foods suit me and what I should eat and not eat ,for MG as well as preventing type 2 diabetes as any nutritionist or dietitian I went to ,had never heard of. MG and gave me a one size fits all diet which I know anyway
All this cost A lot of money and was a waste of time

I concur with the MGTEAM article.
Those food guidelines are spot on for what I do.
Find out also what foods to avoid with any medication.
That's why a nutritionist is so important. Then make your dietary decisions accordingly.

That's my food plan every single day.
I feel vibrant and have more energy.

Continue whatever the doc said until you see them again.
Changing how you eat is a huge step you can do but make sure your other meds can tolerate it.
I hope I was helpful😎🥰
