Better to control it with strict diabetic diet and regular exercise and get blood sugar fasting and pp test done after 15 days and if still high then take that pill.

Hello, Thanks for the query. The glucose levels mentioned show that you have diabetes. Once diabetes is diagnosed then the only way to bring down glucose closer to normal levels is through the specific antidiabetic medications. Metformin is one of the safest drugs used for over 65 years to treat. Ideally in a well controlled patient FBG should be < 100 mg & PP 150 to 160 mg and HbA1c%(not mentioned) should be < 6.5%. Another important aspect with regard to your weight and height with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 29.89 kgs/Sq meter (Normal < 23 kgs /Sq meter) you are almost in grade 1 obesity. That means there is an excess of 19 kgs. This the main culprit in glucose control. Your ideal body weight (IBW) should be 65 kgs. Therefore, weight reduction is an absolute necessity. Thanks.

Along with medicines follow diabetes diet which simply means eating the healthiest foods in moderate amounts and sticking to regular mealtimes.

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.
