Hi Angelo,
First - Have you discussed your high blood sugar with your MD? If not, contact your MD. Many different factors can influence your blood sugar and you need to have a fasting blood sugar taken by your MD, so you get the right treatment.
There are ways you can alter your lifestyle/diet to help control blood sugar.
1. Limit simple sugars - soda, candy, baked goods, etc. Low carb diet may be beneficial.
2. Increase your physical activity. If you are sedentary start with a 30 minute walk 3 times a week.
3. Increase dietary fiber - switch from refined grains to whole grains (100% whole wheat bread, whole grain pasta, whole grain cereal, etc.)
4. Watch portion sizes - Instead of eating a couple large meals each day, spread your meals out into smaller meals with snacks.
Again, discuss your blood sugar with your MD.
All the best,
