Do you have anyone supporting you?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s good that you are already on treatment as this will allow you to manage your HIV and diabetes better and balance when you need to take medications for both.<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t need to eat anything specifically for your HIV, just a balanced diet with lots of nutrition. This is probably the same diet you are used to for managing your diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>Does your doctor know about your diabetes? It&#8217;s good for them to know so they can make sure your HIV meds won&#8217;t conflict with your diabetes as some ARVs are also implicated in causing increased blood glucose levels (more of an issue for type 2 diabetes).<\/p>\n<p>Here is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/i-base.info\/guides\/starting\">some more information on starting treatment<\/a> that may also help.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m recently diagnosed with HIV and have started treatment.
