Hi, AJ ~
First of all, may I ask are you under a doctor's care?
Typically people with diabetes have a bar in the evening to help prevent low blood sugars during the night.
If you are a type 1 diabetic, Medifast does not recommend the program for weight loss but it can be used for weight maintenance.
As always, the aim is to balance exercise, regular blood glucose testing and a controlled diet.
Since the Medifast Plus for Diabetics Program is lower in carbs, sugars and calories than the standard ADA meal plan, it is really important to keep close contact with your diabetes specialist as your insulin and/or oral agents may be affected and your dosage may need adjustments. Diabetics may not do the Complete meal replacement Program and must do the recommended Five and One Program. Some people with diabetes need a slightly higher calorie protocol.
Are you using the Medifast Plus For Diabetics products (shakes and bars) or our regular line? If you are using the regular line, that could be affecting your blood sugar levels. As you know, avoid refined starches and carbs! Drink plenty of water, take your meals ON TIME and be consistent.
Nothing tastes as good as thin feels...
