My blood sugar level is 158 and 226 on fasting and PP.What diet I should take.Can I take sugar free cubes in tea.

Your fasting blood sugar level must be less than 100 mg/dL. Post-prandial blood sugar level must be less than 140 mg/dL. If blood sugar level raises above 180 mg/dL, sugar will be secreted along with urine. This is bad.

Control your high blood sugar by diabetic diet, aerobic exercise and oral hypoglycemic agents.

Conduct HbA1c test.

Natural sweeteners may be preferred over synthetic sweeteners.

Please consider the following suggestions:

Management of sugar levels is a tough job but is not impossible if you realize that the task is essentially in your own hands. The doctor or dietician may guide you but ultimately it is you who has to put into practice all that has been learnt. Diet control makes maximum difference in a diabetic condition. Avoid sugar,sweets,and any food that is loaded with sugars like mango,banana etc. Also avoid vegetables like potato,beet,sweet potato etc that grow underground. Eat more of sprouts,vegetables and greens that give you fiber,minerals and vitamins. Eat less of rice,wheat and other cereals rich in carbohydrates and demand more insulin for converting to energy. The idea should be to reduce consumption by least 200 to 300 calories per day to gain significant results.

After diet,exercise plays a very important role. Walking or jogging for 40 to 60 minutes a day will improve your glucose metabolism significantly and spend about 200 calories.Management of sugar levels is a tough job but is not impossible if you realize that the task is essentially in your own hands.

Last but not the least one should lead a stress free life style. Stress is a recognized trigger for diabetes. Practice relaxation techniques like breathing exercises,yoga etc.

Ultimately the most important person in your diabetes management is Y O U.
