Fasting 140 & PP180. Havng sugar for 11-12 years.Taking medicine tablets in empty stomack .Further remedial methods please
My PP reading last year was 198. I followed the following. Soak two amlas in 1/2 litre water in the night. In the morning, after washing teeth drink the water leasurely. Either immediately or after some time, cut the amla into pieces (follow the lines in the amla) and chew them slowly while reading paper. Now my reading has come down to 168. I recommend this to everybody.
Please consider the following suggestions .These are based on my personal experience of 18 years as a diabetic.
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, etc that grow underground and contain plenty of starch. 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 100 to 200 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.
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,music etc.
You should go for quarterly check ups and annual comprehensive review with an experienced diabetologist and follow the prescriptions scrupulously
Ultimately the most important person in your diabetes management is Y O U.
