Hello, thanks for the query. I have gone through the details mentioned. Following are my observations: 1) in a person with well controlled diabetes, fasting glucose should be < 100 mg or closer to 100 mg, pp 150 to 170 mg & hba1c% < 6.8%. You have not mentioned hba1c% at all. 2) for a person with diabetes regular walking every day for 1 hour or some other exercise like going to gym is a must. There is no option at all. 3) taking alcohol regularly is not advised at all in a person with diabetes. 4) properly planned diet providing exact amount of calories based on ideal body weight is needed. 4) as regards controlling diabetes without taking any medication is almost impossible. However, if you are keen on giving it a try,
