Hello, thanks for the query. Please let me know whether I am answering a male or female? Because the name says lybrate-userand in the information it is saying male. Both fasting & pp are too high, suggesting present treatment is not adequate, needs to be updated. Therefore to help updating I need to know the following: age,current fasting, pp glucose, hba1c%, lipid profile, serum creatinine, urea, dietary pattern and extent of daily exercise. It is better if you come in a private conversation (paid consultation), then I will be able to give specific guidelines and even prescribe necessary drugs. In this communication we are supposed to give only general guidelines but no prescriptions are allowed as no drugs can be recommended. I hope you are aware in a well controlled diabetes patient fbg should be < 100 mg, pp 150 1to 170 mg & hba1c% < 6/5%. It is essential to keep glucose under control in order to prevent diabetes related long term complications. Thanks.

your blood sugar both fasting n pp are high. U need to consult your treating physician for a change in medicine or dosage. Along with medicines follow diabetes diet which simply means eating the healthiest foods in moderate amounts and sticking to regular mealtimes. A diabetes diet is a healthy-eating plan that's naturally rich in nutrients and low in fat and calories. Key elements are fruits, vegetables and whole grains. U can take (moderate amount) grapes. Apples. Berries. Citrus fruits. Papaya. U should avoid sugar-sweetened beverages. Sugary beverages are the worst drink choice for someone with diabetes. Trans fats sugar, cake, pastries mithai/sweets chocolate fruits like mango, litchi etc. White bread, pasta fruit-flavored yogurt. Sweetened breakfast cereals. Flavored coffee drinks. Honey 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or soaked almonds or any seasonal fruit. No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. 3. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, seasonal fruit, a cup of curd/milk etc 4.
