i have type 2 diabetes. hb1ac is 7.5. could someone suggest diet and daily rountine to keep it under control / managable levels .
Long Wheat Mash Diet
To facilitate required (optimum-NOT maximum) rest to pancreas I TOTALLY AVOIDED sweet intake; avoided fruits as well till getting CURED.
Substituted break fast and dinner by long-wheat kanji (porridge/mash) with a pinch of salt as required/possible and curries (hot/sour side dishes - with no sweet). Continued lunch as it is (with oil, fat, potato, tapioca & sweet restrictions). Took all the three meals stomach full.
Reduced food intake frequency by postponing &/or combining and filling the gaps with plain water. Ate or drank more if number of intakes is three (3) or less including refreshments (snacks, tea, coffee, cool drinks etc.) in a day. Reduced oil & fat intake.
Brisk, medium or at least normal walk possibly for an hour daily.
Precautions for you
Buy & use only unbroken long-wheat lest you should be cheated.
If blood sugar does not start decreasing in a month, avoid smoking & liquor if you are in the habit of having them.
Monitor blood sugar regularly - FBS & PPBS at least monthly and HbA1C quarterly.
If already on tab. or insulin inj. monitor blood sugar more frequently, preferably daily at least. Else one may slip into low blood sugar problem (hypoglycaemia?).
Neglecting any of the above eight points (four of modus operandi and four of caution) is similar to removing one of the legs of a table.

The text below is a "COPY&PASTE STUFF" from my previous replies to some others.
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SEEN IT, KINDLY IGNORE THIS.

TAKING MEDICINES ALONE WILL NOT BRING DOWN BLOOD SUGAR ALWAYS. YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR FOOD HABITS & LIFE STYLE ALSO TEMPORARILY TILL CURE.
Please read MY REPLIES part 1, 2 & 3 to question AT diabetesindia.healthunlocke...
Diabetes is a fundamental disorder. It is comparable with low voltage in an electric circuit. In both cases all connected subsystems will under-perform and will fail in due course. It will affect SEX life also, if diab is not contained. Diab impairs the glucose (SUGAR) & oxygen supply to ALL CELLS of the patient. You cannot compensate the resultant weakness with liquor, food or medicines.
A DIABETES PATIENT (also known as A DIABETIC) need NOT starve. PROPER or APPROPRIATE food can be eaten EVEN FULL STOMACH THRICE DAILY! Try to understand diabetes & conquer it.
While following the Long-wheat diet explained in the article referred below, non-vegetarians can have MEAT/FISH/EGG in moderate quantities as side-dishes/curries.
I was diabetic from 2006; but NOT diabetic from 2009. I studied Diabetes thoroughly, because it was to solve MY problem.
Do you want to see my experience and blood sugar history from 2006 to 2013? Those are reported at: appropedia.org/Diabetes_mel... If you want only MODUS OPERANDI, GO TO appropedia.org/Diabetes_mel...
