Hello, Thanks for the query. First and foremost is to achieve a strict blood glucose control with fasting glucose < 100 mg or closer to 100 mg, PP 150 to 170 mg & HbA1c% < 7%. To reduce protein intake, particularly non-vegetarian foods. Avoid excess physical activity. Increase intake of green leafy vegetables and fruits. Increase the intake of fiber containing foods. Thanks.
