I am a civil engineer and I have to work for at least 14 hour a day. I am diabetic too. So how is it possible to live a healthy life to control my diabetes as my work is too restless. My current sugar level is 275 fasting and 350 pp. It is not possible for me to leave my job because I am from a middle class family and I cannot afford it. So please consult me what can I do to control sugar level.

Lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. The blood glucose levels mentioned are too high. Such uncontrolled levels can hasten long term complications associated with diabetes affecting all vital organs. Therefore it is necessary for you to achieve a stricter glucose control. Even with your kind of job it is possible to maintain proper glucose levels. Since there is no mention of the drugs being taken, it is difficult to give any suggestion. For controlling diabetes apart from drugs, it is necessary to take a proper diet and also do regular exercise and maintain a near normal weight. Hence, if you are keen please come in a private conversation (paid consultation), with details about fasting, PP glucose, HbA1c5, diet pattern extent of exercise and drugs with dosage, then I will be able to give specific guidance and help in better control Thanks.
