Need suggestions

[Gokulakkannan]

Hey I'm Gokul age 29

I got diabetes 5 months ago

My glucose level is fasting 109 and after pasting 180.

My friend suggested me to take hba1c test

Level is 8.2

I'm taking glyciphage 500mg twice a day. And within 2months I reduced 8kg weight.

Following heavy diet control

And walking 5km got very confused weather I follow same otherwise more than this.

How did you end up taking fasting and post meals sugar readings in the first place?

Are you seeing a doctor and did the doctor prescribe glyciphage to you or did your friend suggest you take it? DO NOT take any medications on your own and consult with a doctor.

How much did you weigh when you were diagnosed and how much do you weigh now?

In general you don't need to walk 5km each day but if you do it won't harm you as it is a good exercise for you. What is your typical diet? Write down what you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner typically. You say you have been on strict diet control. If you are eating all the wrong things while on this strict diet it won't help you.

How long ago was was your A1c 8.2 and what is the latest A1c?

Do you take fasting and PP (2 hours after you take first bit of meal) blood sugar readings regularly? If not you should start doing that and if you have been taking them what are those readings now?

You need to answer all the above questions so people can help you. Yes you do need to make changes to your diet and it could be a complex carbs with low fat or LCHF. people have had success with both types of diets and it is a matter of what foods you are used to and which diet you are more prone to stick with.

Good luck

[Gokulakkannan]

Thank you sir

In my case my hba level is 8.3 so my average glucose level is 190.so I don't know how to reduce.

[Gokulakkannan]

Oh nice. Where I can get LCHF diet chat.

Your diabetes can very well be managed with zero medicine. Your current food regime is too much carbohydrate. Reduce it drastically and take non veg including eggs and meat. One chappathi is enough per meal. Dont have to starve. Fill with salads, subji and other non carb/low crab stuffs. Check sugar levels every other day. Hba1c every three months. When your hba1c improves, gradually come out of drugs. Mild excercise including a walk after dinner will help. Take least carb and reduced quantity of food during dinner. Take early dinner say by 7 pm. Check fbs after 12 hours i e 7 am next day. Cheers
