I was having burning sensation in my feet for 6 months lot of doctors I went to suggested vitamin supplements. Month ago I went to ayurvedic doctor he asked me to test sugar, lft,lipid and thyroid profile. All other markers other than hb1ac were more or less normal hb1ac was 10.1 doctor suggested I am diabetic and prescribed glycomet 500 mg 2 times a day with other ayurvedic medicine. I started medicine and working out and followed strict diet. Now after a month my fasting sugar is 96 after meal is 122 and hb1ac is 7.7.so my question is, is my diabetes is reversing? And I hvnt got relief from burning sensation in my feet can dis be cured. Can diabetes take rava/suji, corn,honey, khajur, potato chips?

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned. It is good to know that your blood glucose levels have come down appreciably with whatever treatment that you are on. Diabetes can be very well controlled with appropriate drugs, restricted balanced diet, regular exercise and weight control. You have given your weight but height is not mentioned so bmi can not be calculated or I can have idea whether you are having normal weight. As regards burning sensation in feet, it is the most often seen complication of diabetes due to peripheral neuropathy. As regards blood glucose levels & hba1c% at your age fbg should be ideally < 100 mg, pp <140 mg & hba1c% < 6.5%. At 7.7% hba1c% is still high. It is very unusual to have a reversal of confirmed diabetes. But it can be very well controlled with drugs, diet and exercise & weight control as I have said earlier also. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.
