My sugar level is fasting 200. Should I avoid hair colouring and use of different cosmetics of serum? I am taking medicines for sugar both times which includes galvus met 50+500.

Question

Hello, thanks for the query. Madam, I have seen the details mentioned. Fasting glucose 200 m is too high, suggesting uncontrolled diabetes. This is not a good situation. It means there is a need to upgrade the current treatment. Hence, there is a need to look at your dietary pattern, weight & height as well as bmi (body mass index), extent of daily exercise, current drugs. It is also necessary to look at your bp and lipid profile. As regards "changing the cosmetics" that has very little relevance from the blood glucose control. At your age ideally fbg should be closer to 100 mg, pp 150 to 170 mg & hba1c% < 7%. Achieving such good control helps in postponing or preventing long term complications associated with diabetes. Therefore, my advise id please do upgrade the therapy and take control of your blood glucose. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.
