My fasting sugar was 150 and after lunch came 300 hba1c is 7.5 on cetapin xr 500 twice is dose ok.

Question

Hello, thanks for the query. At 55 years your hba1c% should be < 6.5%, so it is clear that glucose control is not good. Particularly fasting. It is clear that only metformin 1000 mg is not adequate. Ideally fbg should be < 100 mg, pp 150 to 170 mg & hba1c% <6.5%. So there is a need to look at your dietary pattern, extent of exercise, weight control and drug treatment. With a bmi of 27.34 kgs/sq meter (normal < 23 kgs/sq meter) you are already quite overweight. Your ideal body weight should be about 59 to 60 kgs. That shows there is an excess of over 10 kgs. This needs to e reduced, which will help in controlling blood glucose better. Thanks.

Along with medicines follow diabetes diet which simply means eating the healthiest foods in moderate amounts and sticking to regular mealtimes.

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.
