Please suggest me any change to bring my sugar level to normal/ below normal.
* Adopt diabetic diet.
* Eat less food, more times in a day.
* Do not consume food after 6:00 pm.
* Exercise (brisk walking) daily for 30 minutes.
* Check your post-prandial blood sugar (2 hours after taking food) daily and avoid foods that cause elevated blood sugar levels.
* Undergo HbA1c test. HbA1c is a lab test that shows the average level of blood sugar (glucose) over the previous 3 months. It shows how well you are controlling your diabetes. An HbA1c of 5.6% or less is normal.
The following are the results when the HbA1c is being used to diagnose diabetes:--
* Normal: Less than 5.7%
* Pre-diabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
* Diabetes: 6.5% or higher
If you have diabetes, you and your doctor or nurse will discuss the correct range for you. For many people the goal is to keep your level at or below 6.5 - 7%.
* Purchase any book on diabetes mellitus and study it well.
* Take anti-diabetic medication and prevent heart attack, stroke or kidney failure.
