Diagnosed with Diabetes after COVID
Hi
I'm Joel. 31 yr male. I got covid in May and it's been one month. Doctors noticed there is a high level of sugar in my body. From past 2 weeks I am using tablets related to sugar. 1st week I gave my blood tests and the levels were 240,400 and 2nd week they were 180, 300. This means I'm near the border or I have diabetes. What food items can I have?

Hello Joel
I believe you do have diabetes. Although I am unsure what type and what medication you are on. Dietary changes will help but with such levels you need to be on medication long term.
Next Steps
Book an online consult.
