Dear lybrate-user, hba1c 7.3 is definitely diabetic stage. You have associated condition of asthma along with hypertension and hypothyroidism. Here I want you to check with your doctor that are you taking any medicines for asthma recently. Some of medicines prescribed for asthmatic attacks can result high blood sugar level also. Please rule out that first. And here also certain other factors to consider that about your height, weight, bmi, family history of diabetes, etc. You can contact me for detailed consultation on this platform. Take care.

Hi, what you have is an early diabetes. Better to follow additional exercise routine and lifestyle change. Keep checking your sugars both fasting and post breakfast every 6 weeks. Not very sure on ayurvedic drugs efficacy and safety.

Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. Since you have started treatment as suggested by the doctor, please continue that. Then check glucose levels after about 10 days (fasting and PP). If levels are in control, then continue the same drugs. Ideally FBG should be < 100 mg or closer to 100 mg, PP 150 to 170 mg & HbA1c% <6.5%. HbA1c% will change only after about 3 months. Since there is no mention about your weight, height, dietary pattern and extent of daily exercises no further comments can be made. In diabetes diet restriction, weight control and regular exercises play a very vital role than just the drugs. Thanks.

You should start strict diet and exercise for 3 months. You can continue your ayurvedic medicines. Check hba1c after 10 weeks. If it still more than 7, then you can start allopathic medicine.

Follow diabetes diet which simply means eating the healthiest foods in moderate amounts and sticking to regular mealtimes. A diabetes diet is a healthy-eating plan that's naturally rich in nutrients and low in fat and calories. Key elements are fruits, vegetables and whole grains. U can take (moderate amount) Grapes. Apples. Berries. Citrus fruits. Papaya. U should avoid Sugar-Sweetened Beverages. Sugary beverages are the worst drink choice for someone with diabetes. Trans Fats Sugar, cake, pastries Mithai/sweets Chocolate Fruits like mango, litchi etc. White Bread, Pasta Fruit-Flavored Yogurt. Sweetened Breakfast Cereals. Flavored Coffee Drinks. Honey 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or soaked almonds or any seasonal fruit.. No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. 3. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, seasonal fruit, a cup of curd/milk etc 4.
