Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. The given blood glucose numbers are fairly good. Ideally FBG should be < 100 mg, Pp 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. However, your glucose control is definintely good enough. It can be further improved by a bit more exercise daily and controlling the diet a bit better. Your ideal body weight should be about 65 kgs, so a reduction of 3 kgs will be more beneficial. Plus increase the intake of green leafy vegetables and salads with each meal. You may consider using about 10 to 15 grams of fenugreek seeds (methi) either in the form of roasted seeds or powder just before each meal, that will help in further reducing the glucose levels.
