how to get hba1c further down from 6.8

[diahelp]

Hello, My husband is diabetic. Todays tests revealed 6.8 as hba1c. He leads a very sedentary life.

He however eats what I cook but wont do anything extra to better his health. Here is my current meal plan. He wont take Virgil coconut oil or heavy butter etc. We are vegetarian. I am reaching out to you to help me with the meal plan..

Here is the current meal plan:

Breakfast:

small amount of upma/ 2 small dosas + chutney/ 4 small rice idli + sambar / poha/ 2 small rava idli

some coffee

Lunch:

2 rotis + dal or sabji

1 whole cucumber sliced

Evening snack

1 apple/ 1 bowl of papaya / 1 guava deseeded.

Dinner

Diabetic rice + rasam / sambar + curd

In between he drinks 4-5 cups of coffee as he gets hungry.

Once in a while we eat out dinner.

His fasting is always about 120.

Please advice.

Thanks

LV pride2 in the morning after breakfast,

Glycomet SR500 after lunch

GP1 Forte + razovel 10 after dinner

already food intake is less. in what way can i reduce further ? Being vegetarian choices are less. Anup Sir, can you please help tweak my menu suggested above and let me know. Already husband is 58kg. Looks too thin. What is a good fat ? Ghee ? Butter ?

The meal plan is carb loaded and that too items like dosas, upma, idlis, rice, rotis etc.

With these food items, even with higher doses of medicines BS control will always remain a problem.

anup ji,

as informed earlier i have been following your posts and they are really very interesting, educative. Of course I have been checking on the links you have been giving. I just want to know how you have been able to be off the drugs and maintain the sugar levels in control. can you please, if you don't mind, post here, what actually you eat from the time you get up to the time you go to bed ? may be we could take some cue from those details.

Regards,

nagaraj
