Hello, Thanks for the query. I have she details mentioned. However, the query is very nonspecific. Because by saying "sugar normal" nothing is clear. It is necessary to know exact fasting, PP glucose, HbA1c%, weight, height, extent of daily exercise and dietary pattern, plus medicine being taken with dosage. However, if he wants to take the powder that you have mentioned, is fine. It may be helpful. Thanks.

It will not help much. As his body should be in a condition to assimilate supplements. Follow this 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of water first thing in the morning (within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Don't overeat 3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U should eat whatever your mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is your traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc. 4. 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, any fresh n seasonal fruit, a cup of curd/milk etc 5. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep. 6. Maintain active life style7. Avoid fast foods, spicy n fried foods, carbonated beverages 8. Take a lot of green vegetables n fruit. 9. Drink lot of water.10. Everyday preferably sleep on same time exercise in the form of yoga, cycling, swimming, gym etc.Till lock down do suryanamaskar every day. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Hello Mr. lybrate-user. Due to long standing diabetes many patients experience muscle weakness apart from other complications of diabetes. It is important to include specific exercises and proteins diet to strengthen the muscles and stimulate the nerves. Apart from this kindly get a renal function test and vitamin b12 and any recent complete blood picture report done and get back to me.
