Sir, I have a doubt.. The random sugar test was done at about 6 p.m. two days back. Before the test, I had taken some food. (some sweets). Should I do a fasting and post fasting test to get my sugar levels checked again ? I do not have any symptoms of thirsty, frequent urination, blurred vision, numbness etc. etc. I am 45 year old person.
There is no necessity that there has to be some symptoms for diabetes. That's the reason diabetes is very dangerous. Your numbers confirm that you are confirmed diabetic. But get the FBS, PPBS and HbA1c tests done again and consult your doctor. You can also check about LCHF diet to control diabetes in this forum..
I was detected 3 months back. None of the classical symptoms seen. Discovered accidentally. So do tests at at lab. Consult a good dr. Then follow LCHF diet.
Your blood sugar level indicates that you are a diabetic. Immediately start cutting down on carbs. If you are not exercising then add some exercises to your routine.
What is your typical daily diet? have you tested your lipids and any other parameters? Post all the details here.
The figure given by you means that your sugar level is not under control.You should consult a diabetologist immeadiatly.Delay may cause harm.

Please get your lipid,liver,Renal,Cardiac risk makers,Arthritis,Vitamin,DiabetesHBA1C,(average blood glucose),Fasting,Post Ponderal etc.etc.from a accredited laboratory. With your given readings you are definitely Diabetic&these are very high,the damage may have already started,to your vital organs. Consult a qualified Endocrinologist immediately.
few words .Ignorance is bliss. pls dont b. ignorance of law is not an excuse as the law says. your biological (mteabolism) law says you take care of diabetes I will take care of the the vital organs,(heart, pancreas, spleen, kidney ,prostate glands,lever,eyes,)nervous system, sexual performance and neuropathy, retinopathy.,etc. or else all of types of pathys will join together and affect the above organs and systems stage by stage as the years progress if left unattended. then only ganapathy has to come to the rescue.( dont get offended pls)

Finally nothing to worry, we are not alone and the support systems are excellent.
Hi all, After the initial analysis of my high sugar levels, I had again checked with a reputed clinic. Now i am on strict NO SUGAR + Exercise (walking 4 km daily) + Brown Rice + Green tea + lot of vegetables & greens + little white rice formula and one week ago the Fasting showed 140 & PP showed 216. (but as per my doctor, still these are out of control levels).
My doctor (a MD surgeon) has given me : 1) Glycomet, 2) Glynase, 3) LoHba1C tablets for one month and asked to review during second week of Feb.
Please let me know what is LCHF diet consists of and how it has to be followed.
I have been diagonized with high sugar levels (Fasting : 188, PP 288) recently and taking Glycomet SR 850 and glynese 1 tablets each in the morning and night.
I am 46 and a vegetarian and please guide if my below diet is ok ?

Lunch : small quantities of white rice with sambar / curd / vegetable

In between these,i don't eat anything.
If there needs to be a drastic change, please inform.
i have been following your posts regularly. as a layman, I do not actually know what to eat and what not to eat. being a vegetarian it limits my choice. your forums and links are fantastic no doubt. but can you please guide and write to me what should I eat for breakfast / lunch and dinner. there is so much data available on the links that I am not able to make up my mind on what is good for me. would be too grateful if you can suggest the right vegetarian menu for the day..
My son aged 50 years has more or less similar HbA1c results. Now he walks nearly six miles daily at California. He has drastically reduced carbohydrate and increased more protein intake. He is also taking salad of raw vegetables with every meal. He is checking blood sugar daily. Result: HbA1c level has reduced to normal. Abdominal girth and overweight has been reduced. His high blood pressure has also reduced to normal. He is not taking any medicines.
